Bio | Dr. Ben Carson

On March 2nd, 2017, Dr. Benjamin S. Carson, Sr., M.D., was sworn in as the 17th Secretary of the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development.

For nearly 30 years, Secretary Carson served as Director of Pediatric Neurosurgery at the Johns Hopkins Children’s Center, a position he assumed when he was just 33 years old, becoming the youngest major division director in the hospital’s history. In 1987, he successfully performed the first separation of craniopagus twins conjoined at the back of the head. He also performed the first fully successful separation of type-2 vertical craniopagus twins in 1997 in South Africa.

Dr. Carson received dozens of honors and awards in recognition of his achievements including the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the nation’s highest civilian honor. He is also a recipient of the Spingarn Medal, the highest honor bestowed by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP).

Dr. Carson authored nine books, four of which he co-wrote with his wife Candy. The U.S. News Media Group and Harvard’s Center for Public Leadership named him among “America’s Best Leaders” in 2008.
Dr. Carson and his wife co-founded the Carson Scholars Fund, which recognizes young people of all backgrounds for exceptional academic and humanitarian accomplishments. The Fund is currently operating in 50 states and the District of Columbia, and has recognized more than 7,300 scholars, awarded more than $7.3 million in scholarships, and installed more than 150 Ben Carson Reading Rooms around the country.

Is America in decline? — (as featured in a major piece by The Economist magazine) and other key issues including the state of America's economy with skyrocketing inflation will be brought to the forefront.

America's Roundtable will also cover The Wall Street Journal's Editorial Board piece—"Backlash Against Biden’s Limits on Charter Schools" with 18 governors urging President Biden to hold off on making sweeping changes to rules that could limit funding to new and existing charter schools.

"No President has been more hostile to charters schools than Joe Biden, and his Department of Education is proving it with proposed rules that undermine the federal Charter Schools Program. The assault is triggering a bipartisan political backlash.”—The Wall Street Journal Editorial Board

The discussion will also highlight the importance of principled US leadership in the world amid the Russian invasion of Ukraine, the atrocities and war crimes witnessed and recorded by civilians and journalists, and China's rise as a threat to America.

Here is what America's leaders are saying about Dr. Carson's new book (release date May 17, 2022) "Created Equal":

“Created Equal is a book that speaks truth to power and is so very needed in today’s divided society. Dr. Carson’s sensible solutions and advice should be heeded by all Americans that wish to see our nation united once again." —Dr. Alveda King

“This book is what the American people need: the true, unfiltered, and unabashed history of race in America and a blueprint for a real path forward. We have come a long way since the days of Martin Luther King, Jr. and his famous "I have a dream" speech and Dr. Ben Carson embodies that progress in every way imaginable. This book should be a must read for any American struggling to comprehend the left’s anti-American racial agenda, and especially for those espousing it.”—Bob Unanue, CEO, Goya Foods

"Dr. Carson’s Created Equal brilliantly reveals the destructiveness of false divisions in society through his moving conversation on education, faith, race, and values in America."—Newt Gingrich, Former Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives

The Wall Street Journal | Op-Ed: America Needs a Safety Net, Not a Hammock

Congressional Democrats want to decouple welfare from work, undermining the American work ethic.

"Americans want to help those who can’t help themselves, or who are going through a rough patch. They don’t want to support healthy adults and allow them to live off government welfare programs permanently. Americans believe in the safety net, not the safety hammock."
— Dr. Ben Carson
