Oscar Winner Jon Voight Recreates Ben Franklin’s “Prayer Speech” | The White House Founders Museum

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HPuUPr7xK14

By the summer of 1787, the Constitutional Convention was on the verge of collapse. Delegates locked in stalemate, pulled apart by self-interest, competing state loyalties, and political gamesmanship. It was in this moment of crisis that Benjamin Franklin rose and made an appeal not to politics, but to providence, urging his fellow delegates to set aside their factions and seek the guidance of the Creator. Watch Oscar-winning actor and icon, John Voight, bring Ben Franklin to life in this powerful rendition of Franklin’s “Prayer Speech.”
