“Remembering Jimmy Carter: President, Humanitarian, & Poet”

Former President Jimmy Carter passed away at the age of 100. He was a Nobel Peace Prize winner, Georgia governor, humanitarian, and devoted family person. In 1982, he founded The Carter Center with his beloved wife, Rosalynn, and through that organization they have provided humanitarian aid across the globe. Carter was also a poet in addition to his extensive list of achievements. “City Lights” host Lois Reitzes spoke with Carter in 1995 about his first poetry collection “Always a Reckoning.”  Plus, we listen back to Lois’ conversation with the filmmakers behind “Jimmy Carter: Rock & Roll President.” And we revisit the documentary “Carterland.”  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
