Jimmy Carter was the 39th President of America and aspired to establish a government which was both, competent and compassionate. He won the Nobel Prize for Peace in 2002. This farmer-turned-politician was determined to make a difference to the country which was suffering from energy costs, mounting inflation, and continuing tensions. Though he found it immensely difficult to keep up with the rising expectations, he tried his best to restore the faith of his citizens in the government. Furthermore, he also tried to make United States a symbol of peace and promoted human rights as a centrepiece of foreign policy. Following his term as the president, he remained publicly active and was involved in several humanitarian efforts. His post presidency period was extremely productive - he worked for a charitable organization, ‘Habitat for Humanity’ and also participated in diplomatic talks to forge an agreement with North Korea. He was further involved in resolving international disputes. For his humanitarian efforts and for being a travelling ambassador of peace, he was awarded the prestigious Nobel Peace Prize, which is a testimony to his reputation as one of the most active ex-presidents in the history of the US.

We visited the Plains Depot, a former train station that was turned into the media headquarters during the 1976 Jimmy Carter Presidential run. It was chosen because it was the only available building with a restroom at the time. This former train station is now a museum.

Mitch TeichFirst Person: How refugees shape Utica, 18th Century maple, thanking Jimmy Carter. On the March edition of First Person, as the U.S. announces it will welcome 100,000 refugees from the war in Ukraine, we explore how refugees from other conflict-torn regions have shaped the city of Utica. Writer Susan Hartman's upcoming book, City of Refugees, follows the stories of families from Bosnia, Iraq, and Somalia as they adjust to lives in a place they never imagined ending up. It was a project that started with an article for the New York Times, and ended up stretching for eight years. Later, historical interpreter PJ Miller tells us about how maple sugaring was practiced in our region in the 18th Century. He'll be demonstrating those techniques at Fort de la Presentation in Ogdensburg this weekend (or next weekend, if Saturday's weather is bad). North Country Bookmarks host Jessica Lawrence shares a preview of the spectacular April edition of the show. And then we'll talk with Arthur Milnes. The Kingstonian is author of the new book, 98 Reasons to Thank Jimmy Carter. Milnes shares some of those reasons, and the story of that time the 39th President slept over at his house in Kingston in 2012.

Way back when the Carter administration was struggling, and we had to wait in lines on certain days to get our weekly allotment of gasoline, I was converted from liberal to conservative. It wasn’t just the gas shortage. It was the double-digit unemployment, the double-digit inflation and high interest rates. It was watching our fellow citizens being murdered in foreign countries and the stupid response to the hostage crisis in Iran.
