Specifically, if the president would say, want to come to your house? You would let him. If he wanted to see what is in your fridge you show…

    As a child, Carter experienced African Americans being discriminated right before his very eyes. Carter grew up in Georgia, where African Americans were constantly segregated from the general public. Although the segregation of blacks was high back then, Carter proved that he was different than most whites. Carter didn’t care what color of a person’s skin; he judged every person on the inside. Carter's closest friends were black as stated in an article, “Despite this pervasive segregation, two of Carter's closest childhood friends were African American, as were two of the most influential adults in his life, his nanny Annie Mae Hollis and his father's worker Jack Clark (Editors, “Biography.com”).” Carter also attended an all-white high school which he felt was wrong because no black people were allowed to attend his school. Carter’s beliefs on the discrimination of not only blacks, but all races and genders, laid out the foundation that he practiced and voiced for the rest of his childhood and life.
