Ben Carson explains why he’s fighting to preserve American history

Dr. Ben Carson has long seen God’s hand in his own life story—from overcoming poverty in Detroit to becoming one of the world’s most celebrated neurosurgeons, then serving as President Donald Trump’s first housing secretary.

Now, through his American Cornerstone Institute, Carson is taking on what he sees as one of the most urgent challenges facing the country: the erosion of American history in the minds of its youngest citizens.

Carson sat down with the Daily Signal at the Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts on Sunday for the premiere of “Star Spangled Adventures: The Movie,” a feature-length animated film produced through his Little Patriots program.

The film takes children on a journey through 250 years of American history—from the Revolutionary War to the 20th century—guided by Liberty the Eagle and featuring an all-star cast of voice actors, including Pat Boone, John Schneider, Kevin Sorbo, and Rich Little. All of the Little Patriots content is available free of charge at littlepatriotslearning.com.

Speaking with the Daily Signal, Carson opened up about the Marxist influence he sees creeping into public schools, the providential moments in American history that he believes are being deliberately erased from textbooks, and why he thinks equipping young people with the truth about their nation’s founding is the most important fight of our time.
