Jimmy Carter: “I will nominate Roy T. Sessums and James W. Yancey to be members of the Mississippi River Commission for terms of 9…”

I fear for our democracy.

That our country for the first time in my lifetime has abandoned basic principles of human rights.

There's only one chance and one life to count for something. And my faith tells me, or my faith demands, that I use whatever I have whenever I can, to make a difference in people's lives.

We look on human rights as an ability to live in peace. And to believe that your future will be better than your past might be.
