Atlanta: The Carter Center
The Carter Center is a nongovernmental, not-for-profit organization founded in 1982 by former U.S. President Jimmy Carter. He and his wife Rosalynn Carter partnered with Emory University just after his defeat in the 1980 U.S. Presidential elections.
The center is located in a shared building adjacent to the Jimmy Carter Library and Museum on 37 acres (150,000 m2) of parkland, on the site of the razed neighborhood of Copenhill, two miles (3 km) from downtown Atlanta. The library and museum are owned and operated by the United States National Archives and Records Administration, while the Center is governed by a Board of Trustees, consisting of business leaders, educators, former government officials, and philanthropists.
The Carter Center's goal is to advance human rights and alleviate human suffering, including helping improve the quality of life for people in more than 80 countries. The center has many projects including election monitoring, supporting locally led state-building and democratic institution-building in various countries, mediating conflicts between warring states, and intervening with heads of states on behalf of victims of human rights abuses. It also leads disease eradication efforts, spearheading the campaign to eradicate Guinea worm disease, as well as controlling and treating onchocerciasis, trachoma, lymphatic filariasis, and malaria through awareness campaigns.
James Earl Carter Jr. was born on October 1, 1924. Raised in a wealthy family of peanut farmers in the southern town of Plains in Georgia, Carter graduated from the United States Naval Academy in 1946 with a Bachelor of Science degree and joined the United States Navy, where he served on submarines.
After the death of his father in 1953, Carter left his Naval career and returned home in Georgia to take on the reins of his family's peanut-growing business. Despite his father's wealth, Carter inherited comparatively little due to his father's forgiveness of debts and the division of wealth amongst his younger siblings. Nevertheless, his ambitions to expand and grow the Carters' peanut business was successfully fulfilled.
During this period, Carter was fueled by the political climate of racial segregation and the growing civil rights movement. He became a motivated activist within the Democratic Party. From 1963 to 1967, Carter served in the Georgian senate, and in 1970, he was elected as Governor of Georgia, defeating former Governor Carl Sanders in the Democratic primary on an anti-segregationist platform advocating affirmative action for ethnic minorities.
Carter remained in his position as Governor until 1975. Despite being little-known outside of Georgia at the start of the campaign, Carter won the 1976 Democratic presidential nomination and entered the presidential race as the dark horse candidate. In the presidential election, Carter defeated incumbent Republican President Gerald Ford in a close election.
On his second day in office, Carter pardoned all evaders of the Vietnam War drafts. During Carter's term as president, two new cabinet-level departments, the Department of Energy and the Department of Education, were established. He established a national energy policy that included conservation, price control, and new technology. In foreign affairs, Carter pursued the Camp David Accords, the Panama Canal Treaties, the second round of Strategic Arms Limitation Talks (SALT II), and the return of the Panama Canal Zone to Panama. On the economic front he confronted persistent stagflation, a combination of high inflation, high unemployment and slow growth.
The end of his presidential tenure was marked by the 1979–1981 Iran hostage crisis, the 1979 energy crisis, the Three Mile Island nuclear accident, and the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan. In response to the invasion, Carter escalated the Cold War by ending détente, imposing a grain embargo against the Soviets, enunciating the Carter doctrine, and leading an international boycott of the 1980 Summer Olympics in Moscow. In 1980, Carter faced a primary challenge from Senator Ted Kennedy, but Carter won re-nomination at the 1980 Democratic National Convention. Carter lost the general election in an electoral landslide to Republican nominee Ronald Reagan.

Rosalynn Carter /C LLN33 Louisville Late Night
Featuring Rosalynn Carter,
“After leaving the White House in 1981, Rosalynn, like her husband, continued to lead a very active life. In 1982, she co-founded The Carter Center, based in Atlanta, Georgia. The Carters built their home after returning to Georgia. She is a member of the Center's Board of Trustees & participates in many of the Center's programs, but gives special attention to the Mental Health Program. Carter & her husband fell into serious debt immediately after leaving the White House, but were able to alleviate this by writing projects & were able to open the Carter Center from their revenue. She, like Betty Ford before her, would say the American people made a mistake in not reelecting her husband & was bitter over the election. At this time she expressed resentment of Ronald Reagan & even told interviewer Mike Wallace that he was ruining the country. Rumors at this time spread that she was running for Governor of Georgia, which she denied & outright stated she had no political ambition. When asked nearly two decades later why she had not run for Georgia Senate after Hillary Clinton was pondering to run, she responded What would I have done in Washington, with Jimmy in Georgia?
Rosalynn & her husband's first major project with the Carter Center was to help in peace between Israel & its neighbors. The two visited the Middle East in March 1983 & worked with Kenneth W. Stein & other associates of the Carter administration, & invited top leaders from a wide range of cities & countries to participate. This included the Palestinian community, Jordan, Syria & Egypt. In the early summer of 1986, she & her husband aided the poor by helping to build homes on the North and West sides of Chicago. The two were accompanied by members of the Habitat for Humanity as they wielded hammers & saws while working for a week to construct homes in a vacant lot. The Carters removed themselves & the Carter Center in 1991, from direct involvement in the Middle East at the time that President George H. W. Bush & Secretary of State James Baker became more active. However, they did monitor the Oslo peace agreement of 1993, which sprung from the President & Secretary of State's bringing Palestinians & other parties involved in the matter at a conference in Madrid.” --- Wikipedia

State Senator Jason Carter campaigns with his grandmother, former first lady Rosalynn Carter, in Ath
With a runoff increasingly likely in Georgia's tight gubernatorial race, Democrat Jason Carter is getting a boost from his grandfather, former President Jimmy Carter, who's appealing to black voters in some of the state's largest metro areas, while Republican Gov. Nathan Deal is rallying his conservative base in north Georgia.
The two campaigns are crisscrossing the state in the final days before the Nov. 4 election, holding rallies from Cornelia to Columbus. Polls suggest neither candidate will claim a majority needed to avoid a runoff and that a third-party candidate, Libertarian Andrew Hunt, could draw up to 6 percent of the vote.
On Monday, Deal had rallies in six cities across north Georgia, home to the state's largest concentration of Republican voters. Those voters were key to a GOP sweep of statewide offices in 2010. Carter spent the day in south and middle Georgia, joined by his grandparents and Reps. John Lewis and Sanford Bishop for a rally in the parking lot of a predominantly black church in Columbus.
Former President Carter said his grandson was running to help people in need.
All of us are in need of freedom. All of us are in need of equal rights and that's not being done in Georgia now, the elder Carter said.
It was his third public appearance on behalf of his grandson's campaign, and he's expected to rally voters in metro Atlanta this weekend.
The race has largely come down to whether Georgia voters feel like the state's economy is moving in the right direction or has fallen behind amid the recession.
Deal, a former congressman seeking his second and final term, tells voters Georgia ranks sixth in the nation in job creation and that growing revenues allowed for the largest increase in education spending in seven years.
