The family photograph that was appropriated to make this video is of my mom in 1972. The original photograph has her posing in front of a television with a Japanese Doll on top of it and a Beatles' Rubber Sole record album on the floor. In the video I have altered the photograph by placing a Barack Obama "Hope" poster on the wall, a religious alter from the home I grew up in, another family picture, and Tupac Shakur's "The Don Killuminati: The 7 Day Theory (as Makaveli)" 1996 Album. On the television plays the 1968 speech by Martin Luther King JR. (His last speech, the day before he died).

"I've Seen the Promise Land", Martin Luther King J.R., April 1968:

"Well, I don't know what will happen now. We've got some difficult days ahead. But it doesn't matter with me now. Because I've been to the mountaintop. And I don't mind. Like anybody, I would like to live a long life. Longevity has its place. But I'm not concerned about that now. I just want to do God's will. And He's allowed me to go up to the mountain. And I've looked over. And I've seen the promised land. I may not get there with you. But I want you to know tonight, that we, as a people, will get to the promised land. And I'm happy, tonight. I'm not worried about anything. I'm not fearing any man. Mine eyes have seen the glory of the coming of the Lord."
