Jimmy Carter actually said...

"We must not allow great power rivalries to destroy our hopes for an Africa at peace."

"It is a personal privilege for me to begin this first state visit of a President of the United States to the sub-Saharan region of Africa."

"The American people have a longstanding but growing interest in the continent of Africa—its history, its cultural richness, its increasingly developed economic potential."

"I come from a great nation to visit a great nation."
