Editor’s Note: A version of this story published last year after President Carter entered hospice care. But there was another source of inspiration for Carter that’s been overlooked: his distinctive brand of White evangelical Christianity, which remains hidden from most Americans. Carter was a progressive White evangelical Christian. Progressive White evangelicalism was once what one historian called “the ascendent strain of evangelicalism in America.”Today White evangelical Christians are associated, rightly or wrongly, with a conservative set of theological and political stances. Madeline Drexler/APUnlike former President Bill Clinton, another progressive White evangelical, Carter refused to “triangulate,” or adjust his beliefs to win favor with evangelicals.

As the nation mourns the loss of Jimmy Carter, who died Sunday at age 100, Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders look back on the historic contribution the then-president made to the community. Following a push from several Asian American lawmakers, Carter, the country’s 39th president, signed a proclamation that designated May 4, 1979, as the start of Asian Pacific American Heritage Week. Decades later, the week would be extended, becoming the heritage month now celebrated annually. Daniel Inouye and Spark Matsunaga, both Democrats of Hawaii and fellow Asian Americans, followed suit, introducing sister legislation in the Senate. Mielke underscored that the national recognition from Carter wouldn’t have been possible without decades of work from Asian American and Pacific Islander advocates and legislators themselves, who had long championed the racial group.

Marchers in San Francisco's Gay Freedom Day parade carry a banner with a quote from Jimmy Carter on June 26, 1977. “They did not want a photo op with the president and these leaders,” Kirchick said, referring to the Carter administration. Bronski and other historians say that while Carter’s efforts to move the needle on gay rights may seem “small” by today’s standards, he planted the seeds for future presidents. ‘Jesus never said a word about homosexuality’Long after leaving the White House, Carter continued to vocally support gay Americans. And Carter — who taught Sunday school since he was 18 — used an atypical means of reason to justify his support: Christianity.

Years later, during the Clinton administration, Herman returned to the department — this time as the country’s first Black labor secretary. From judgeships to Cabinet-level appointments, Black women broke ground in Carter’s administration. “There is not one single initiative related to women’s rights that did not have its foundation in the Carter administration,” Herman said.

CNN —Jimmy Carter, who served a single full presidential term without the chance to appoint a Supreme Court justice, nonetheless left behind an incomparable judicial legacy. Carter named Ginsburg to an important Washington-based US Court of Appeals in 1980, which positioned her for eventual elevation to the Supreme Court. Women made up 12 of his 59 circuit court appointees and 29 of his total 203 district court appointees. Until Carter’s tenure, only two women had ever been named as circuit court judges and six as district court judges.
