DR. BEN CARSON: GIFTED HANDS AND GIFTED HEART

Ben Carson, the subject of the movie "Gifted Hands: The Ben Carson Story" and book of the same title, is more than remarkable.  In an interview to promote the movie, Carson explains why his life moved from poverty to success.  Here, in 5 minutes, he incapsulates his life.  This should be sufficient to interest you in his books, the movie about his life and the following videos and interviews.  With over 50 honorary doctorates, this exceptional man is unashamed of his life lessons.



In this Penn State interview, Dr. Carson is interviewed about his life.



As keynote speaker at Emory University in Atlanta, Georgia in 2012, Dr. Carson lifts the spirits and ambitions of the graduating class.  In his intro, the moderator describes him as a man with"a wise heart harnassed to a keen and searching mind."  Dr. Carson receives Doctor of Humane Letters award and then gives the following inspirational and motivational speech.



In a CSPAN interview in November, 2007 on "Role Models," Dr. Carson talks about the link between societal success and
parental responsibility and ROLE MODELS.   When asked about criticisms of Bill Cosby's commentary on the state of black society Carson said, "We all have deficits and ways that we can improve in the African-American community." Don't miss the end of this video where Dr. Carson sites the accomplishments of black men and women throughout the course of American History.



In a Q & A Session video taped by an amateur attendee, Carson shares some of the lesser known facts about himself. Though the audio is not the best quality, it is well worth your time to hear the content of this session.



Here is an AUDIO ONLY of Dr. Carson speaking about "In His Image" and who made us.  As he said, "This lifts us to a higher plane."  Speaking to high schoolers specifically, Carson tells of his rise from dire poverty to his success in pedeatric neurosurgery.



Recently, this very gifted doctor was invited to speak at the National Prayer Breakfast (February 7, 2013).  What followed was certainly not what was expected by anyone, but has become an internet sensation.  Here, complements of C-SPAN2, is Dr. Carson's speech in its entirety.
