Bohemia, NY, September 17, 2025 –(CarryOnHarry.com)– Music, Science, and Storytelling Unite to Reboot Human Connection
New Anthem “15th to 50th” Reminds Us We’re All Cousins—And Why That Perspective Could Change Everything
What if the person standing next to you wasn’t a stranger, but family? Educator and media innovator Dr. Bernie Furshpan believes it’s not just poetic, it’s a scientific fact. His new movement, 15th to 50th, launches with a powerful music video anthem reminding us that nearly everyone alive today is related within just 15 to 50 generations.
The timing couldn’t be more urgent. “The world has gone mad,” says Dr. Furshpan. “We are more divided than ever, and it’s time to swing the pendulum the other way. When people understand that the air we breathe contains molecules from millions of years ago, and that the atoms in our DNA are as old as the universe itself, it changes how we see each other. We stop looking for enemies and start seeing cousins.”
The anthem, released free to the public, blends the science of genetics with the storytelling power of music. It pulls audiences down a rabbit hole—one where the further you go, the clearer it becomes that the divisions we cling to are illusions. At our core, humanity is a massive extended family.
Dr. Furshpan, already known for his groundbreaking Holocaust education work and the acclaimed documentary The Weight of Memory: I Am Bernie Furshpan, says the project is meant to recalibrate our worldview. “This song is more than a melody. It’s a rallying cry for empathy, for tolerance, for kinship. We’ve tried hatred, separation, and fear. It hasn’t worked. Let’s remind ourselves who we truly are – family.”
The project will expand into schools, corporate workshops, and live events. Merchandise, educational kits, and speaking engagements will sustain the initiative, but the video and message remain free for the world.
