Did Barack Obama help black culture come in the mainstream? | Shake This Out – Documentary Trailer

Popularized by the hip-hop movement, the fist bump gained international fame when Barack Obama exchanged the gesture with their wife Michelle when he became the first African American President of the USA. Soon, it infiltrated all layers of the population and became one of the most popular salutations of our time. What are other popular alternatives for the classic handshake, and what are their origins? Personalities like Common, Anwan Glover, Cornell Belcher, and George Pelecanos discuss how signs of black emancipation, gangs, and tribes have crossed international borders to become global forms of greeting.
