DR. BEN CARSON

Dr. Ben Carson is one of our leading conservative voices focused on how we can return to the biblical values our nation was founded upon, especially the vital importance of the family, in order to secure a prosperous future for generations to come.

Dr. Ben Carson is an American politician and neurosurgeon who performed the first successful separation of conjoined twins who were attached at the back of the head (occipital craniopagus twins). The operation, which took place in 1987, lasted some 22 hours and involved a 70-member surgical team. Carson also refined a technique known as hemispherectomy, in which one-half of the brain is removed to prevent seizures in persons with severe epilepsy.

Dr. Ben Carson will bring his message of The Perilous Fight "Restoring the strength of our nation, one family at a time"  to the Seaford High School Madden Auditorium on Friday, July 18, 2025, at 7:00 p.m. This FREE event will have online registration available in the coming days. Dr. Carson’s book will be available for a heavily discounted purchase price. Book signing will be available after the event.

This is an exciting time for MERIT to partner with American Cornerstone Institute (ACI), offering the opportunity to launch “Strengthening Delmarva Families,” an ongoing initiative designed to recognize Cornerstone Families and strengthen families on the Delmarva Peninsula.

ACI is having great success in events across the United States. We are fortunate to be working with Dr. Ben Carson and replicating ACI’s nationwide success right here on Delmarva. It is through the strong bond Dr, Carson and Mr. Hollis have formed that such an event is available for our local communities.

MERIT, Minority Engineering Regional Incentive Training, is celebrating its 50th anniversary of impacting local students. From its humble beginnings as a collaboration between the Seaford DuPont Nylon Plant, the Seaford School District Superintendent, and John Hollis, a Seaford science teacher, MERIT has evolved into one of Delaware’s most successful programs for fostering excellence in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) among minority youth. It has equipped thousands of students with challenging engineering experiences and powerful leadership skills while encouraging them to pursue college degrees. Over 600 MERIT students have gone on to receive Bachelor’s Degrees with many obtaining Master’s Degrees and more than 50 earning their Doctoral Degree. The program fosters parental involvement, and many MERIT alumni return as volunteers, strengthening the program’s vibrant community and shaping its evolution to meet the needs of future generations. The 50-year sustainability of MERIT is due to the support and involvement of families working together to equip youth and build strong communities.

The American Cornerstone Institute (ACI) is a 501C-3 non-profit founded by world-renowned pediatric neurosurgeon, author, and 17th Secretary of the Department of Housing and Urban Development, Dr. Ben Carson. Dr. Carson has proven through his example and policy-making that solutions guided by the cornerstones of faith, liberty, community, and life are effective and will point our nation toward the common good. Throughout his life, Dr. Carson has broken through barriers and has paved major roads in our country as a champion for logic and common-sense solutions to social issues. ACI produces educational programs, including books and web-based content.
