Raised in 1960s Detroit by a young, single mother, Ben Carson faced what many consider impossible odds and made a name for himself as a highly successful pediatric neurosurgeon.
Carson became a household name after he criticized then-president Barack Obama during the 2013 National Prayer Breakfast and later ran in the 2016 Republican presidential primary.
As a leading Christian Conservative, Ben Carson refuses to be labeled as oppressed as he’s proved that with determination and hard work, the American dream can be achieved by anyone.
