== Family life ==
Herman Cain was born in [[Memphis, Tennessee]], to Lenora Davis Cain, a cleaning woman and domestic worker, and Luther Cain, Jr., who was raised on a farm and worked as a barber and janitor, as well as a chauffeur for [[Coca-Cola Company]] president [[Robert W. Woodruff]]. Cain has said that as he was growing up, his family was "poor but happy." Cain related that his mother taught him about her belief that "success was not a function of what you start out with materially, but what you start out with spiritually". His father worked three jobs to own his own home — something he achieved during Cain's childhood — and to see his two sons graduate.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.ibtimes.com/articles/149706/20110521/herman-cain-2012.htm |title=Herman Cain 2012: The Story of a Self-Made Man |publisher=Ibtimes.com |date=May 21, 2011 |accessdate=August 6, 2011}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|author=politicks Org |url=http://2012.republican-candidates.org/Cain/Parents-Grandparents.php |title=Cain's Parents and Grandparents |publisher=2012.republican-candidates.org |date= |accessdate=August 6, 2011}}</ref><ref name=wsj9may>{{Cite news |url=http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052748704681904576311474087295408.html |title=GOP Debate Fuels a Long Shot |first=Neil |last=King Jr. |date=May 9, 2011 |newspaper=The Wall Street Journal |accessdate=May 16, 2011}}</ref>

Cain grew up on the west side of [[Atlanta, Georgia]], attending school and Rev. [[Cameron M. Alexander]]'s Antioch Baptist Church North in the neighborhood now known as [[The Bluff (Atlanta)|The Bluff]]. Eventually Cain's father saved enough money and the family moved to a modest brick home on Albert Street in the [[Collier Heights]] neighborhood. He attended Archer (public) High School, graduating in 1963.<ref>[http://cascade.patch.com/articles/s-w-atlanta-who-is-herman-cain#photo-8127565 Yolande M.

In 2006, Cain was diagnosed with [[Cancer staging|Stage IV cancer]] in his [[colon (anatomy)|colon]] and metastases to his [[liver]] and given a 30-percent chance of survival. Cain underwent surgery and [[chemotherapy]] following the diagnosis, and has since reported that he is in remission.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.rollingstone.com/politics/blogs/national-affairs/docs-herman-cains-cancer-isnt-disqualifying-20111012 |title=Docs: Herman Cain's Cancer Is Not Disqualifying |publisher=''Rolling Stone'' |date=October 13, 2011 |accessdate=October 31, 2011}}</ref>

At age 36, Cain was assigned in the 1980s to analyze and manage 400 [[Burger King]] stores in the [[Philadelphia]] area. At the time, Burger King was a Pillsbury subsidiary.

Cain's success at Burger King prompted Pillsbury to appoint him president and CEO of another subsidiary, [[Godfather's Pizza]].

A sometime [[gospel music|gospel]] vocalist, Cain performed on the 13-track album ''Sunday Morning'' released by Selah Sound Production & Melodic Praise Records in 1996.<ref>{{citation|url = http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/2011/07/11/cain-gets-his-gospel-singing-on/|publisher = [[CNN]]|title = Cain gets his gospel singing on|first = Gabriella|last = Schwarz|date = July 11, 2011}}</ref> Cain performed "Imagine There's No Pizza", a gospel-flavored parody of the [[John Lennon]] songs "[[Imagine (song)|Imagine]]" and "[[Give Peace a Chance]]", at an [[Omaha, Nebraska|Omaha]] Press Club event in 1991. A video of this performance became popular during his 2012 campaign. Prior to performing the song, Cain offered the following introduction:
{{quote|One of the wonderful things about living in America is the freedom we have to laugh at ourselves. In fact, we have so many freedoms that it is easy to sometimes take them for granted. So it is helpful sometimes to try and imagine what it's like if we were to lose some of those freedoms.}}

Cain performed the song with female backup singers while he wore white preacher's robes. The song begins with the lyrics:

== Political activities ==
=== Role in the defeat of 1993 Clinton health care plan ===
Cain publicly opposed the [[Clinton health care plan of 1993]]. As president-elect of the [[National Restaurant Association]], he challenged Bill Clinton on the costs of the employer mandate contained within the bill and criticized its effect on small businesses. [[Bob Cohn]] of ''[[Newsweek]]'' described Cain as one of the primary opponents of the plan:
: The Clintons would later blame "[[Harry and Louise]]", the fictional couple in the ads aired by the insurance industry, for undermining health reform. But the real saboteurs are named Herman and John. Herman Cain is the president of Godfather's Pizza and president-elect of the National Restaurant Association. An articulate entrepreneur, Cain transformed the debate when he challenged Clinton at a town meeting in [[Kansas City, Missouri]]. Cain asked the president what he was supposed to say to the workers he would have to lay off because of the cost of the "employer mandate". Clinton responded that there would be plenty of subsidies for small businessmen, but Cain persisted. "Quite honestly, your calculation is inaccurate," he told the president. "In the competitive marketplace it simply doesn't work that way."<ref name="Newsweeks">{{Cite news

=== 2000 Presidential campaign ===
{{main|Republican Party (United States) presidential primaries, 2000}}
Cain briefly ran for the Republican presidential nomination in [[United States presidential election, 2000|2000]]; he says it was more about making political statements than winning the nomination. "[[George W. Bush]] was the chosen one, he had the campaign DNA that followers look for." However, Cain went on to state, "I believe that I had a better message and I believe that I was the better messenger."<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.politicsdaily.com/2010/07/11/herman-cain-possible-dark-horse-2012-gop-presidential-candida/|title=Herman Cain: Possible 'Dark Horse' 2012 GOP Presidential Candidate|accessdate=June 24, 2011|work=[[Politics Daily]]|first=Matt|last=Lewis|authorlink=Matt Lewis (journalist)}}</ref> After ending his own campaign, however, he endorsed [[Steve Forbes]].<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/the-fix/post/herman-cain-explained/2011/09/26/gIQA5KoNzK_blog.html|title=Herman Cain explained |accessdate=October 3, 2011|work=[[The Washington Post]]|first=Rachel|last=Weiner|date=September 27, 2011}}</ref>

=== 2004 U.S. Senate candidacy ===
{{main|United States Senate election in Georgia, 2004}}
In 2004, Cain ran for the [[United States Senate|U.S. Senate]] in Georgia and did not win in the primaries. He was pursuing the seat that came open with the retirement of [[Democratic Party (United States)|Democrat]] [[Zell Miller]]. Cain sought the Republican nomination, facing congressmen [[Johnny Isakson]] and [[Mac Collins]] in the primary. Cain and Collins both hoped to deny Isakson a majority on primary day in order to force him into a runoff.{{Citation needed|date=February 2010}} Collins tried to paint Cain as a moderate,<ref>{{cite news| url=http://www.washingtonpost.com/ac2/wp-dyn/A58347-2004Jul17 | newspaper=The Washington Post | first=Manuel | last=Roig-Franzia | title=Cain Makes Inroads in Ga.

=== 2005–2011 work for Americans for Prosperity ===
Starting in 2005, Cain worked for the political advocacy group [[Americans for Prosperity]] (AFP) alongside [[Mark Block]]. Block would later become campaign manager for Cain's 2012 Presidential run and would be joined in Cain's campaign by several other AFP employees. Cain continued to receive honorariums for speaking at AFP events until he announced his campaign for the Republican nomination.<ref>[http://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/long-ties-to-koch-brothers-key-to-cains-campaign/2011/10/16/gIQAKTLPoL_story.html "Herman Cain's deep ties to Koch brothers key to campaign."] ''AP'', October 16, 2011.</ref> Cain's senior economic advisor during his 2012 presidential campaign, Rich Lowrie, who helped devise Cain's [[9-9-9 plan|9-9-9 tax plan]], had served on the AFP board.<ref>[http://abcnews.go.com/Politics/wireStory/extensive-ties-powerful-koch-group-boost-cain-14746710 "Long Ties to Koch Brothers Key to Cain's Campaign."] ''ABC'', October 16, 2011.</ref>

=== 2006 Republican ad campaign ===
In 2006, Cain voiced several radio ads encouraging people of color to vote Republican; the ads were funded by a group called America's PAC and its founder [[J. Patrick Rooney]]. These ads were criticized for making use of racial stereotypes, such as one in which one black man refers to black women as "hos". That ad also claimed that Democrats didn't care about black infants because they support legalized [[abortion]]. Another ad attempted to link Democrats to white supremacist [[David Duke]], since Duke opposed the [[2003 invasion of Iraq]]. The ads stirred controversy in the communities in which they ran. <ref name="americaspac">{{cite web|url=http://www.nysun.com/national/republican-group-chides-democrats-with-abortion/41648/|title=Republican Group Chides Democrats With Abortion Ads}}</ref>

5 'And when you pray, do not imitate the hypocrites: they love to say their prayers standing up in the synagogues and at the street corners for people to see them. In truth I tell you, they have had their reward.

6 But when you pray, go to your private room, shut yourself in, and so pray to your Father who is in that secret place, and your Father who sees all that is done in secret will reward you.

7 'In your prayers do not babble as the gentiles do, for they think that by using many words they will make themselves heard.

8 Do not be like them; your Father knows what you need before you ask him.
