The first night of Democratic National Convention speeches begins Monday at 9 p.m. ET.

Past years have seen thousands gather to watch high-profile politicians speak in support of the nominated candidate and hundreds of state delegates lining up behind one candidate or another as the party makes its final decision on who the Democratic Party's presidential hopeful will be.
