Public Enemy - By the Time I get to Arizona

Inspired by Arizona's refusal to make Martin Luther King Jr.'s Birthday a holiday, Public Enemy called them out on it. It is nearly inconceivable that this was occurring in the early 1990s. We might remember a certain senator from Arizona voted against the creation of King's birthday as a national holiday and he supported then Governor Mecham's repeal of the day as a state holiday. Incorporating President elect (so soon to be President) Obama into the video seems about right. Let us reflect today upon our past and let us be bold enough to dream about our future tomorrow.
