The time has come for fundamental change.
Education is the foundation of every nation's success or failure; it produces upstanding citizens, lifts people out of poverty, and catalyzes change. Crisis in the Classroom is full of captivating, insightful essays by renowned Civil Rights attorney Ben Crump; neurosurgeon and former Secretary of the Department of Housing and Urban Development, Dr. Ben Carson; and serial entrepreneur and media personality Armstrong Williams that expose the harsh realities of the current state of education in the United States and its repercussions on underserved and marginalized communities.
Crisis in the Classroom presents the unvarnished realities of poor educational outcomes, a topic that is frequently missing from the headlines, and how these have led communities and generations of future leaders to descend into poverty and devastation.
Despite the grim realities depicted in Crisis in the Classroom, the authors show us that faith and unity, paired with an apolitical, solution-based approached to the education crisis, can provide hope for a brighter future
Individuals from vastly different political positions agree that there is a crisis in education.
“A must read. This compelling set of essays by three leading, independent, and highly respected voices takes on the range of challenges facing underserved communities. Whatever their differences, they all agree on the moral imperative to address the civil rights issue of our time-the failure of our inner-city schools to provide a quality education to all children. The time has come for fundamental change."
-BIDE BORE
former Attorney General
"...offers parents and students effective support in exposing the shortcomings and creating real solutions.
Each author understands the pivotal impact a quality education had on their extraordinary life achievements. Education is the foundation of every nation's success or failure; it produces upstanding citizens, lifts people out of poverty and catalyzes change."
“The book explores the root causes of the spiraling educational crisis in America and proposes novel fixes; it is wisdom that will not be welcomed by those profiteering from the catastrophe of the educational status quo. Our children, educators and nation deserve this book."
—ADAN WALDMAN, Esquire


A call to our highest virtues and ideals.
What Black and White People Must Do Now explores the complexity of race and culture in the United States. In his third book, renowned conservative entrepreneur, author, and philanthropist Armstrong Williams discusses his prescription for healing and atonement amidst today’s current social upheaval.
Race and racism are America's original sin, and four hundred years later, they still plague the nation, pitting groups against each other. Despite how much time has elapsed, many Americans remain befuddled by how to move forward; however, the time for solutions has come.
In this book, Armstrong Williams recounts his personal story and journey growing up working on his family farm in rural South Carolina, leading to an unexpected meeting with the late Senator Strom Thurmond of South Carolina, which turned into an unlikely relationship that led him to the halls of power in Washington, D.C.
Williams calls for all Americans to stand up to represent America’s highest virtues and ideals, and he challenges us to look beyond the pale of race for something much deeper.
“Finally, a trusted voice on what needs to happen in America in order to heal our divides. Armstrong’s extraordinary success as an entrepreneur, coupled with the respect he has in all communities gives him an insight that very few have. This book is long overdue and a must-read.”
—Benjamin Crump, Esq.,
renowned civil rights attorney
“Today we find ourselves dangerously in a place of uncertainty that beckons leaders to rise up and speak up for the values and integrity that this country was built on. Yet, we must evolve, and we must do it quickly and with poise and fortitude. In this book is the poise and fortitude that sees the truth from both sides of the equation; the truth that others are afraid to speak, you will find here.”
—Ambassador C. Boyden Gray,
former White House counsel to former President George. H.W. Bush and former ambassador to the European Union
“Armstrong takes on the toughest topics currently facing the United States and he does so in an honest and straightforward way. He doesn’t shy away from being blunt and honest about what we all need to do to continue crafting a more perfect union. If you’re looking for the unabashed truth, this book is for you.”
—David Smith,
chairman of Sinclair Broadcast Group

The severity of this issue is affecting millions of hardworking Americans looking for relief amid economic uncertainty.

Migrants are on a misguided path of unchecked compassion
"Yet, today, this vision of the American dream has become clouded. Government and powerful media outlets have fed a distorted interpretation of it, one that threatens to unravel the very fabric of our great nation. My heart is heavy with empathy for the relentless struggles faced by every migrant. Americans are privileged to reside in a land brimming with opportunity, safeguarded by justice and anchored by inalienable rights."

Armstrong Williams: Biden’s misguided priorities
"Hawaii, once a symbol of nature’s grace, now lies devastated, a chilling semblance of a war zone. At least 100 lives have been lost to the flames of a devastating wildfire, with hundreds of homes obliterated and families shattered. But in the face of this profound tragedy, America’s President Joe Biden has responded with a suggestion that borders on the absurd."

Transgender Women Are Not Women
"Let’s not tiptoe around the facts. Biological men, or in layman’s terms, individuals born with male genitalia, can never and will never have the capacity to give birth to children or menstruate. It’s not an opinion or a debate but a cold, hard fact of biology. We need to face reality, instead of diving deeper into an abyss of unscientific thinking."

Armstrong Williams: A tale of two boats

What if they were us?"

Blogger's new book spotlights worrisome trend that is chilling to free speech

Williams: Why do we accept deception?

CUNY Law: A graduation under siege
"Education ought to be the bedrock for fostering critical thinking and providing a landscape for the exploration of diverse perspectives, rather than serving as an incubator for extremist ideologies.

Armstrong Williams: A true statesman, C. Boyden Gray
"I lost a dear mentor and friend last Sunday when C. Boyden Gray departed to become a bright ornament in the heavens. But the United States lost a national treasure more valuable than Fort Knox. I regularly dined with Boyden for over two decades. He poured forth wisdom, erudition, encouragement and guidance like the Nile overflowing its banks. To the extent I have succeeded, to that extent I followed Boyden's instruction. He was that unerring."

The Left Won the Abortion Debate. They Just Don't Realize It Yet
"A decades long struggle for the preservation of our country's dignity and for the sanctity of life has finally come to an end.

Rather, the Court ruled, it is the right of the people of the states to vote on the issue and decide for themselves."

Abortion Battles Likely to Conclude with Aristotelian Mean
"The authenticated leak of Justice Samuel Alito's draft 5-4 opinion overruling the United States Supreme Court 1973 abortion rights precedent of Roe v. Wade is likely to stick.

Armstrong Williams: The Washington Post Is clueless
"A front-page story on Aug. 21 in The Washington Post sounds a false alarm: "American democracy is cracking. These forces help explain why," by Dan Balz and Clara Ence Morse.
