The exodus story is America's story. Moses is our real founding father.
The pilgrims quoted his story. Franklin and Jefferson proposed he
appear on the U.S. seal. Washington and Lincoln were called his
incarnations. The Statue of Liberty and Superman were molded in his
image. Martin Luther King, Jr., invoked him the night before he died.
Ronald Reagan and Barack Obama cited him as inspiration. For four
hundred years, one figure inspired more Americans than any other. His
name is Moses.
