Carson is trying to reinvigorate his fading chances at the Republican presidential nomination by questioning Barack Obama’s blackness, the latest in a line of racially-tinged attacks aimed at the country’s first black president by his critics.

Carson will visit Lee university at 11 a.m. on Monday, Feb. 29, to talk about her life’s journey from the streets of Detroit to the halls of Yale University and now to a presidential campaign, according to a news release.
“She is exactly the kind of person we want Lee University Students to meet,” said Jerome Hammond, vice president for university relations.
She’ll be talking about book, “A Doctor in the House,” which documents her life with a neurosurgeon and presidential candidate.
“The calling of a neurosurgeon isn’t easy to live out,” she write in her book. “The life of a neurosurgeon’s wife isn’t much easier. But it’s been worth it all.”
