In the years following his term in office, former President Jimmy Carter has distinguished himself as a tireless defender of human rights and a champion of humanitarian causes. In 2002 he was honored with the Nobel Peace Prize for his decades-long efforts to find peaceful solutions to international conflicts, to advance democracy and human rights, and to promote economic and social development. In keeping with President Carter’s legacy, the Social Action Campaign for Jimmy Carter Man From Plains incorporates successful examples from history to focus on conflict resolution.
