Historical Context:
This signed program originates from a landmark academic event held just over a decade after Jimmy Carter left the presidency. Hosted by Hofstra University, the 1990 conference titled “Keeping Faith” was named after Carter’s 1982 memoir and focused on reflecting upon his presidency (1977–1981), his leadership style, and his evolving humanitarian legacy. By 1990, Carter had already begun redefining the role of a former president—promoting democracy, global health, and conflict resolution through the Carter Center, founded in 1982.

Rosalynn Carter, a key partner in both his administration and post-presidential activism, was also honored during this conference for her advocacy in mental health, caregiving, and women’s rights. Their joint signatures on this historic program reflect their enduring partnership and shared public service.
