Delano Squires joins Dr. Ben Carson to discuss his new book, The Vanishing Black Family, and the hard truths behind America’s family crisis.
In this conversation, Dr. Carson and Delano examine why family breakdown cannot be explained by economics alone, how fatherlessness affects children, why marriage and fatherhood matter, and what churches, communities, schools, and cultural leaders can do to rebuild strong families.
This episode explores:
- Why family formation is central to a healthy society
- The impact of fatherlessness on children
- Why Delano Squires believes the crisis is spiritual and cultural, not merely economic
- How welfare policy, feminism, and popular culture reshaped views on marriage and family
- Why the Black family crisis should concern all Americans
- The role of churches, HBCUs, mentors, fathers, and community leaders in restoring marriage
- What future generations need from us now
Strong families build strong communities. Strong communities build a strong nation.
