Dr. Ben Carson was the guest speaker at a fundraiser for the Upper Room Christian Academy in Raleigh on June 27, 2013. The Academy is a private school which has no government funding and, therefore, can stress traditional Christian values to the children of the black community of Raleigh. Over 700 people were there from all over the state of North Carolina to hear Dr. Carson speak. If you would like more information about this Christian academy, please go to: http://www.urcap.org.
