Conservative star Benjamin S. Carson, Sr., M.D., will be the featured speaker at the Capitol Day Gala on February 10 in Oklahoma City.
The Gala is a dinner event hosted by the Oklahoma Christian Home Educators’ Consociation (OCHEC) as they celebrate thirty successful years of the Oklahoma Home Educator’s Capitol Day, an annual event held at the state Capitol and organized by OCHEC to bring home education to the forefront of state issues among lawmakers.
Dr. Carson is a movement conservative whose values Oklahomans not only identify with, but overwhelmingly support,” said Cindy Nicolai, legislative liaison for OCHEC. “Dr. Carson is helping lead our nation back to its foundational values of faith, freedom and family. No one in the nation is articulating those values more clearly than Dr. Carson, and whether you home educate your children or not, this dinner is a rare opportunity to hear a highly sought-after conservative whose message will give you hope for America’s future.”
Carson oversaw pediatric neurosurgery for 40 years at the Johns Hopkins Children’s Center. He retired in 2013 and today serves as Professor Emeritus of Neurosurgery at Johns Hopkins University. In 2008, he was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom by former President George W. Bush.
The Gala will be held at the Cox/Renaissance Convention Center located at 10 N. Broadway Ave. in Oklahoma City. There will be a reception at 5:30 p.m. Dinner will be served at 6:30 p.m. Carson will be available for photos at the Gala reception. Following the dinner, he will be signing copies of his books.
