He prevailed in 1976 with a pledge of honesty and openness. Carter, who viewed himself as an enlightened trustee of the American people, championed the cause of affirmative action for minorities when much of the country still resisted this concept.

Yet his post-presidential activism in favor of international human rightsearning him a Nobel Peace Prizetransformed Carter into one of the most successful former presidents in U.S.
