Carter And King Share Like Backgrounds c. 1976
In New York a portrait of Jimmy Carter and Don King hangs above Don King Productions. Carter, a Georgia farmer, and King, once an ex-con and boxing promoter from Ohio, praise their unlikely friendship as King outlines plans for nine boxing cards from January to May. He notes a six bout show on the Lexington aircraft carrier off Pensacola with the Blue Angels in attendance. King recalls rising from obscurity to prominence and vows a busy promotional schedule to revive boxing events. Carter’s campaign mentions and King's promotion plans anchor this profile in a crossroad of politics and sport.
