Dr. Ben Carson speaks about an animated feature set to premiere at the Trump Kennedy Center, which uses humor and animation to cover 250 years of U.S. history, from Fort McHenry to the Declaration of Independence. The film aims to present a balanced account, acknowledging both achievements and shortcomings, to foster patriotism among youth.
Former Housing and Urban Development Secretary Dr. Ben Carson discussed the upcoming premiere of an animated film at the Trump Kennedy Center , highlighting its use of animation to narrate the story of America.
Carson described the movie as both quick-paced and humorous, noting that recognizable voices such as Kirk Cameron, Kevin Sorbo, and Rob Schneider contribute to the production. He emphasized that the event, scheduled for Sunday, June 14, offers free tickets but requires prior registration.
Carson explained that the project, which began a couple of years ago, condenses 250 years of American history into a feature-length film through animated segments covering pivotal moments like Fort McHenry, Lewis and Clark, and the Declaration of Independence. He stated that the motivation behind the film is to counter what he sees as early indoctrination that distorts history, focusing excessively on injustices toward Native Americans and slaves while neglecting broader achievements.
Carson clarified that the film does not avoid the darker chapters of the nation's past but argues that the positive aspects far outweigh the negative, aiming to instill pride and patriotism in young audiences. He warned that failing to foster such appreciation makes it easier for external influences to control young minds.
When asked what makes the United States unique, Carson pointed to the freedom to live one's desired life, a liberty often taken for granted but deeply valued by those who risk everything to immigrate to America
