It features, among others, Common, John Legend, Scarlett Johannson, Kareem Abdul Jabbar and even Ed Kowalczyk of +Live+ (Obama epitomizes “The Beauty of Grey”, huh Ed? ). Oddly enough, there is some young lady uttering the ancient language of the Jews (that would be Hebrew) at the 1:40 mark. Who is that?

This video has been over five hundred thousand one million times thus far on YouTube since its launch this past weekend.
