Barack Obama delivers a speech about "hope" to Ebeneezer Baptist Church in Atlanta which was founded by the Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. himself who was well known for the phrase "keep hope alive". In this way Obama is placing himself in the lineage of King's fight for civil rights and the idealistic pursuit of hope itself. The musical elements are derived of hip hop and electro which sprang from black culture in the years between King and Obama and are what Chuck D calls "the Black CNN" a way to communicate via music in the same way that African tribes use drums to send messages long distances from early times. The struggle continues but it is clear the ideas and ideals of equality are still alive as Dr King would have wanted.
