that will be the beginning of jimmy carter's journey from here in a-mericus, georgia, to plains, georgiao atlanta where the president's body will lie in repose. norm, one of the interesting things that people think about with jimmy carter is his complex history growing up in the jim crow south. his connection with people that was religious, that was his connection with african-american. one of the things you mentioned in john can alter's book, he writes this didn't come easily to jimmy carter. he was not always on the right side of the history. his father was a segregationist. and jimmy carter credits the people who helped him grow up with his understanding of race relations and the things that need to change. something he said as soon as he became governor of georgia. >> carter was a man of faith and a man who believed in humanity. and that really made a difference for him. and it made a difference in moving past that history of the south of his own family to become a leader in the civil rights. couple of other things i would mention, ali. there was not a hint of scandal around jimmy ca

now the georgia in parliament speak uh commented on the nomination of the for my georgia and president by the american institute saying that she likes another georgian president, stuck, has really had never subs the interest of georgia almost 12 years ago. a similar gesture was extended to another ex president mikhail psychiatry really at tufts university. both of them willingly took up the offer. despite having pledge allegiance to georgia alone, psychiatry really later became a ukrainian citizen. and zora bish really to eventually is likely to return to her native france. it is clear now to our compatriots, exactly as we have been saying, all along that neither of them has ever been in the service of georgia and both of them went back to the entity that employed them. now the editor in chief, all the goods and farm georgia news agency says that nothing should have been expected from the former president of georgia, except pandering to western influence is the price for the gross or what is happening in georgia is a typical special operations by foreign intelligence services, as soon

you mentioned americus, georgia, where his body was there in the hospital, and shifting over to plainsow, it was also a major spotin plains now, it was also a major spot in the campaign trail in 1976, manyjournalists covering 1976, many journali5t5 covering the 1976, manyjournalists covering the campaign were housed there, but as you see that motorcade make its way over to plains and into archery, the sight of his family home, i would imagine that you would see many local5 that you would see many locals who are paying tribute to not only a remarkable public figure, and an admirable present and post president, but also their neighbour and friend, and that is really important to keep in mind. ye5, ab5olutely, many people they are considering jimmy carter notjust a 39th president of the united states, but one of their pa5tor5, one of their neighbours, the guy that might come over and quite literally fix a creaking step, he was quite a handy man with his tool5. thank you. hang on with us if you can. i want to bring back robert strong, professor emeritu5, we were discussing jimmy carter, wh

, georgia. spanish language newspapers. he wrote the whole of the dalton community has confront the reality that dalton's have changed it has been the hispanic community that kept manufacturing and agricultural industries their feet in dalton. it's a fact that without the labor of hispanics, the economies of dalton and whitfield would have hit rock bottom. so so people are talking about latinos as a godsend to this community. and latinos are taking that on. right. they're saying you're welcome. you know what i mean? like many latinos are being like, you're welcome for the labor did save you. and as a result, we need to be treated better and differently. right. and we can think about, you know, we've been critical about the complicated nature, you know, the complicated argument that activists make. this is an argument that a lot of people making that we were central, vital to our economy. so you have to take seriously and you have to treat us with respect. so as the latino population continues to

and georgia's very proud of jimmy carter, proud son of georgia.to politics very early. he went back after he got out of the navy to to run the family farm. he got involved with county politics, he was elected to the state legislature as a senator and very involved back then in education, mental health reform. that was one of his wife salynn's biggest causes, mental health. and finally, ended up running for the presidency of the united states. and it's fascinating in retrospect to think, paul, that we have spent all this time, the past ten days, on jimmy carter. in 1976 when he was getting into the presidential primaries, hardly anyone had heard of jimmy carter. lo and behold, he became the democratic nominee. paul: i was a college student in new hampshire in 1975 when he came through, before the primary p before he had, you know, struck gold in the iowa caucuses. he met with -- i have to say it was an embarrassingly few students who showed up. [laughter] i was one of them. i got to listen to him and shake his hand. and i have to to say he was a co

it has made his way through his home state of georgia and started off in his home town of plains, georgiaenate, became georgia governor and then president. quite a legacy he leaves state wide to the state of georgia is the first part of this country to pay its 1519 00:15:32,256 --> 00:15

the georgia senate. jimmy carter is the last living, is the last living person, was the last living person to have been to have started his political career in the kennedy era. he witnessed not only the shift to the new south, he helped create the new south and then brought that experience to washington. as we watch him, as we watch his hearse move to atlanta, it's a reminder of changes that occurred in the south but had enormous effect on all of our country. so to go back to i. mr.. ambassador eizenstat, he is reminding us of the complexity of the carter presidential period. carter was not a liberal democrat. he was a conservative to some extent a conservative democrat on fiscal issues and liberal on social issues. so his legacy at the time was difficult to understand. he had opponents within the democratic party led by ted kennedy, who presented a different version of the man. so it is not a surprise that such a complicated political figure should take or should take decades to fully understand his eff

we saw georgia, d.c. and back to george again.ct of washington, d.c. is in charge of overseeing the security at all of the logistics, the moving pieces but if a president as a special connection to a particular branch like we see with carter and the navy they might choose to honor that through musical to a symbolic presence. if they had a particular business interest or if there something in the past they want to highlight, penis have been discussed a lot the last couple of days, we might see something like that. of course usually their family, friends and people who are important to them when you in the white house. we usually do see some sort of advisor or official that understood them or speak to the really were and what matter to the. >> let's go back to the national cathedral and the service. who is invited and the have to be invited to be part of the service that we saw earlier? >> guest: you do. this sounds like a strange thing to say but those invitations are quite hot commodities. it is one of those events in d.c. if you'

in april 2021, jill and i visited jimmy and rosalynn on a warm string day down in plains, georgia. we wanted to see them. rosalynn met us at the front door with her signature smile. together we entered a home they had shared to almost 77 years of marriage, unassuming big ranch home, reflects their modesty more than any trappings of power. we walked in the living room where jimmy greeted us like family. that day, just the four of us sat in the living room and shared memories that spanned almost six decades. a deep friendship that started in 1974. i was a 31-year-old senator and i was the first senator outside of georgia, maybe the first senator to endorse his candidacy for president. it was an endorsement based on what i believe is jimmy carter's enduring attribute, character. character. character. because of that character, i believe is destiny, destiny in our lives and quite frankly, destiny in the life of the nation. as an accumulation of a million things built on character that leads to a good life and a decent country. life of purpose, life of meaning. now, how do we find that
