Obama Video, American Prayer: The Power of Pop and Passion
People | October 16th, 2008
I came across this on Rebecca Walker’s blog (she finds the best jewels.) No matter who you vote for, this is a magnificent song full of visionary passion. This is political artistry at it’s best, and it reminds me that artistic expression is a mighty, mighty force for raising conscious and opening hearts. Hopefully it inspires the change that that is required…the change that the future is praying for.

Part of me shudders – what will the Republicans do with this, how will it fuel their fear/hatred tactics of trying to make Americans scared of Obama, of his vision and ability to bring people together. But then I cheer, I celebrate that at least once we are unabashedly excited about someone, about a movement, about a vision. We who believe in people, in freedom, in progress for all, we all to often downplay our passion, softpedal our messaging in the name of being “fair.” Thank you to all the artists who came together to create a powerful call for change that is unafraid, uncompromising, and unapologetic. This is what we need in a leader and within each of us if we are to truly bring about change.
