Carter Surges as Southern Politician Faces National Stage
James Earl Carter Jr born Oct 1 1924 in Plains Georgia rose from a farmer family to Navy service and state politics. As governor he pursued cautious integration while balancing black demands and white resistance, courting both support and distrust from civil rights leaders and northern critics. He advocates federal reform and careful budgeting, seeks stronger US-Russia talks with a firm Middle East stance, and faces southern populist appeal and northern suspicion as he runs for the Democratic nomination.
