SUMMARY:Jonathan Alter: Jimmy Carter and Human Rights
DESCRIPTION:Free in-person and online! Our fall series celebrating the 75th anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights continues with an interview of journalist and author Jonathan Alter hosted by Leader Dr. Joe Chuman. \nClick Here to RSVP to Join In-Person \nClick Here to RSVP to Join Online Via Zoom \nAbout His Very Best\nFrom one of America’s most respected journalists and modern historians comes the highly acclaimed\, “splendid” (The Washington Post) biography of Jimmy Carter\, the thirty-ninth president of the United States and Nobel Prize-winning humanitarian. \nJonathan Alter tells the epic story of an enigmatic man of faith and his improbable journey from barefoot boy to global icon. Alter paints an intimate and surprising portrait of the only president since Thomas Jefferson who can fairly be called a Renaissance Man\, a complex figure–ridiculed and later revered–with a piercing intelligence\, prickly intensity\, and biting wit beneath the patented smile. Here is a moral exemplar for our times\, a flawed but underrated president of decency and vision who was committed to telling the truth to the American people. \nGrowing up in one of the meanest counties in the Jim Crow South\, Carter is the only American president who essentially lived in three centuries: his early life on the farm in the 1920s without electricity or running water might as well have been in the nineteenth; his presidency put him at the center of major events in the twentieth; and his efforts on conflict resolution and global health set him on the cutting edge of the challenges of the twenty-first. \n“One of the best in a celebrated genre of presidential biography\,” (The Washington Post)\, His Very Best traces how Carter evolved from a timid\, bookish child–raised mostly by a Black woman farmhand–into an ambitious naval nuclear engineer writing passionate\, never-before-published love letters from sea to his wife and full partner\, Rosalynn; a peanut farmer and civic leader whose guilt over staying silent during the civil rights movement and not confronting the white terrorism around him helped power his quest for racial justice at home and abroad; an obscure\, born-again governor whose brilliant 1976 campaign demolished the racist wing of the Democratic Party and took him from zero percent to the presidency; a stubborn outsider who failed politically amid the bad economy of the 1970s and the seizure of American hostages in Iran but succeeded in engineering peace between Israel and Egypt\, amassing a historic environmental record\, moving the government from tokenism to diversity\, setting a new global standard for human rights and normalizing relations with China among other unheralded and far-sighted achievements. After leaving office\, Carter eradicated diseases\, built houses for the poor\, and taught Sunday school into his mid-nineties. \nThis “important\, fair-minded\, highly readable contribution” (The New York Times Book Review) will change our understanding of perhaps the most misunderstood president in American history. \nPurchase the book here. \nAbout Jonathan Alter\nJonathan Alter is an award-winning author\, political analyst\, documentary filmmaker\, columnist\, television producer and radio host. \nAlter’s most recent book is “His Very Best: Jimmy Carter\, a Life.” (2020)\, which received uniformly favorable reviews. His earlier books include three New York Times bestsellers: “The Center Holds: Obama and His Enemies” (2013)\, “The Promise: President Obama\, Year One” (2010) and “The Defining Moment: FDR’s Hundred Days and the Triumph of Hope” (2006)\, also one of the Times’ “Notable Books” of the year. \nA former senior editor and columnist at Newsweek\, Alter is a longtime political analyst for NBC News and MSNBC.  He co-produced and co-directed the HBO documentary “Breslin and Hamill: Deadline Artists\,” which won the 2020 Emmy for Outstanding Historical Documentary.
