Human Rights Hero 2

Jimmy Carter

James Earl Carter Jr was born on the 1st of October 1924 he was the first ever president to be born in a hospital. He was an American politician who served as the 39th President of the United States from the 20th of January 1977 to the 20th of January 1981.  Before that he served as a State Senator in Georgia from 1963 to 1967 and he also was the 76th Governor of Georgia from 1971 to 1975. The reason he was a human rights hero was because campaigned for the presidency in 1976 promising substantial changes in the conduct of U.S. foreign policy. The Carter administration thus articulated, devised, and implemented a human rights strategy that would serve as the cornerstone of Carter's foreign policy.
