  • "Carter's First Political Appointment" with Jason Berggren
    Sep 23 2024

    Before he was President, Governor, or even a State Senator, Jimmy Carter's first political office was on the Sumter County School Board in rural, south Georgia filling a seat vacated when his father passed away in 1953.
