摘要：

This paper examines Obama's "Eulogy for John Lewis," identifying the importance of the convergence of Lewis' oeuvre, historical exigence, and kairos in Obama using Lewis' eulogy to engage in decidedly political messaging - a rhetorical hybrid, or hybrid genre, that negotiated a eulogy with a deliberative subform. Further, I argue that because of historical exigence and Lewis' oeuvre, there was a kairotic imperative for Obama to speak, during which he redefines American historical time.
