Reassessing Jimmy Carter's Legacy: A Historical Perspective

Former President Jimmy Carter has died at the age of 100.

He was the nation's 39th president, in office from 1977 to 1981.

He will of course be remembered for his accomplishments in office. But also for all that he accomplished in the four decades after he left the White House.

Host Andrew Limbong speaks about Jimmy Carter's legacy with two NPR journalists who have covered the White House for years: national political correspondent Mara Liasson and senior White House correspondent Tamara Keith.
