"What a Super Tuesday," Hillary Clinton said, addressing cheering supporters in Miami, Florida. The Democratic frontrunner swept Georgia, Virginia, Alabama, Tennessee, Texas, Arkansas and the territory of American Samoa.

Speaking at Miami, she congratulated Bernie Sanders on his wins and urged the voters to choose to make America free of barriers.

Here are excerpts from her speech:

"Democrats voted to break down barriers so we can all rise together.

"This country belongs to all of us. Not just the people who look one way or even think one way"

She promised to create jobs for the middle classes, ensure education for all and vowed to make America more dependent on clean energy.

"We need to break down barriers for women"

"We need to break down barriers for families who see black children harassed"

"We need to break down barriers for voters in North Carolina who have been systematically disfranchised"

"We need to fight for hard working immigrants everywhere. We must fight for workers rights, women's rights, civil rights, LGBT rights, voting rights, rights for people with disabilities".

"Dont tell me we cant make in America anymore, because we can"

"Like it or not we're all in this together and we all have to do our part"

In a jibe at Donald Trump, she said, "America prospers if we all prosper. America will be strong if we're all strong. We have work to do but that work is not to make America great again. America never stopped being great. We have to make America whole. We have to fill in whats been hollowed out".

"The stakes have never been higher. And the rhetoric we're hearing from the other side is low. All this trying to divide america between us and them is wrong and its not going to work"

"What we need in America today is more love and kindness. It works. Instead of building walls, we're going to break down barriers and build ladders of opportunity so that every america can live up to its own potential".
