The iconic WVON Radio, known as The Voice of the Nation, commissioned Media Process Group to create a video for their fiftieth anniversary. Founded in 1963 by Leonard and Phil Chess, the owners of Chess Records, WVON quickly became a success playing R&B music. In addition to featuring great African-American radio personalities like Herb Kent and Don Cornelius, WVON is noted for its cultural relevance and commitment to community advocacy and empowerment. It was a voice for Martin Luther King, Jr., in the 1960s and was a springboard for BarackObama during the early days of his political career.

The video was played at their red-carpet gala event at the Chicago Theater.
