<\/p>\n

\u201cContrary to the media reporting, the America Mr. Trump described is one of genuine racial equality and diversity,\u201d they continue. The President told the story of America through its many national heroes\u2014presidents such as Washington and Lincoln, as well as other brave patriots such as Frederick Douglass and Martin Luther King Jr.
\n 
\n\u201cNo nation has done more to advance the human condition than the United States of America,\u201d President Trump said. \u201cAnd no people have done more to promote human progress than the citizens of our great nation.\u201d<\/p>\n

Here are 10 of the top moments from his speech:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. An eternal tribute to our forefathers.<\/a> In contrast to the far-left mobs tearing down and desecrating monuments across our country, President Trump honored the lives of the four men whose faces are forever carved into Mount Rushmore.
    \n <\/li>\n
  2. America\u2019s history will not be surrendered.<\/a> Anarchists and extremists \u201cthink the American people are weak, and soft, and submissive. But no\u2014the American people are strong and proud, and they will not allow our country, and all of its values, history, and culture, to be taken from them.\u201d
    \n <\/li>\n
  3. All men are created equal.<\/a> Fifty-six patriots, 244 years ago, set in motion \u201cthe unstoppable march of freedom\u201d by stating boldly that \u201call men are created equal.\u201d
    \n <\/li>\n
  4. Today, we set the record straight.<\/a> \u201cThe radical view of American history is a web of lies\u2014all perspective is removed, every virtue is obscured, every motive is twisted, every fact is distorted, and every flaw is magnified until the history is purged and the record is disfigured beyond all recognition.\u201d
    \n <\/li>\n
  5. We will not be silenced.<\/a> \u201cNo person who remains quiet at the destruction of this resplendent heritage can possibly lead us to a better future,\u201d President Trump said. No one who loves this country would seek to demolish its legacy.
    \n <\/li>\n
  6. Our children can achieve anything.<\/a> \u201cWe will raise the next generation of American patriots . . . We will teach our children to know that they live in a land of legends, that nothing can stop them, and that no one can hold them down.\u201d
    \n <\/li>\n
  7. Made in the holy image of God.<\/a> Americans believe in equal opportunity, equal justice, and equal treatment for every person. \u201cEvery child, of every color\u2014born and unborn\u2014is made in the holy image of God.\u201d
    \n <\/li>\n
  8. A surprise announcement.<\/a> President Trump announced the creation of a new national monument, the National Garden of American Heroes. It will be a vast outdoor park featuring statues of the greatest Americans who have ever lived. 
    \n <\/li>\n
  9. The father of our country.<\/a> \u201cFrom head to toe, George Washington represented the strength, grace, and dignity of the American people.\u201d 
    \n <\/li>\n
  10. The best is yet to come.<\/a> \u201cCenturies from now, our legacy will be the cities we built, the champions we forged, the good we did, and the monuments we created to inspire us all . . . America\u2019s future is in our hands.\u201d<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Press Secretary: Teaching our children to love America is not a \u201cculture war.\u201d<\/a>
