Carter Draws Lesson On Love And Justice At Plains Sunday School
Jimmy Carter spoke to his Plains Baptist church Sunday school class about love and social justice, stressing humility and not judging by race. He noted the church still excludes blacks and recalled how he and family helped sway the 1964 vote. About 80 attendees, many reporters and tourists, filled a larger room as he moved from Sunday school to church, then faced crowds outside. He has kept a low profile since returning from New York, with a possible Mondale meeting anticipated soon.
