Joshua was the protege of Moses. So Obama's generation is to MLK's as Joshua was to Moses.
Here's Obama:
“I didn’t have to go to jail. I haven’t had my head beat in haven’t had dogs and fire hoses set on me. So I’m benefiting from what the Moses generation did. . . . The question is whether the Joshuas among us are willing to stand up, are willing to be counted, are willing to vote, are willing to organize, are willing to mobilize, are willing to get going.”
This is from Exodus:
24:12 And the LORD said unto Moses, Come up to me into the mount, and be there: and I will give thee tables of stone, and a law, and commandments which I have written; that thou mayest teach them.
24:13 And Moses rose up, and his minister Joshua
