Jimmy Carter: A Moral Alternative

Though he only served one term, Jimmy Carter occupies a unique place among U.S. presidents. His presidency was defined by challenges at home and abroad, but his overall legacy is largely shaped by his post-presidential work. We explore how Carter ascended to the presidency, and how he will be remembered.

This episode: political correspondent Sarah McCammon, senior national political correspondent Mara Liasson, and senior editor and correspondent Ron Elving.
