About this listen
Best-selling author and conservative icon Dr. Ben Carson lays out a hopeful and inspiring road map for how America can come together.
External physical characteristics that are genetically encoded are things over which no individual has control. But rather than appreciating the gift of diversity, some have chosen to use it to drive wedges between groups of people. Some of these external characteristics are associated with the past moral failing of slavery. Though slavery in America formally ended in the 1860s, the vestiges of that evil institution are still with us today, and those vestiges often inflict guilt on some and facilitate feelings of victimhood in others.
In Created Equal, Dr. Carson uses his own personal experiences as a member of a racial minority, along with the writings and experiences of others from multiple backgrounds and demographics, to analyze the current state of race relations in America. Instead of using race as an excuse to remake America into something completely antithetical to the Constitution, Dr. Carson suggests ways to enhance and bring great success to our nation and all multiethnic societies by magnifying America's incredible strengths instead of her historical weaknesses.

“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)
"To the great number of Americans who care about the erosion of belief in American exceptionalism, add Created Equal to your reading list. Not because you will agree with every point Dr. Carson makes, but because his point of view - borne of a lived experience in realizing his American Dream via personal excellence - sparks the type of spirited discourse our country needs to hear right now. Dr. Carson uses his personal story to narrate our country’s evolution with respect to race relations. It also reinforces the idea that individuals, regardless of the conditions of their birth, possess unlimited potential to become the best version of themselves if they do the work." (Cordell Carter, esq., executive director, Aspen Institute Socrates Program)
