Welcome back.

Welcome back.

Documentary filmmaker Ken Burns has been capturing the past for nearly 50 years and chronicling

some of the most significant events in American history, from the Civil War to the origins of baseball.

He's been hailed as one of the most influential documentary filmmakers of all time,

picking up multiple Emmys, Grammys, and Oscar nominations.

As America approaches its 250th birthday, Burns turned his attention toward the American

Revolution in his latest series, telling the stories of the men and women who built America

through sacrifice and struggle.

America is predicated on an idea that tells us who we are, where we came from, and what our forebears

were willing to die for.

Colin said no taxation without representation.

The fear was, if we give in to this precedent, what will they do in the future?

I sat down with Burns for a Meet the Moment conversation about what history can teach us about overcoming our differences today.

Ken Burns, welcome back to meet the press.
