Explanation:

Jimmy Carter served in the Georgia State Senate from 1963 to 1967, and in 1970 he was elected Governor of Georgia. He ran on an anti-segregation platform and he supported affirmative action measures for ethnic minorities. Carter served as Governor of Georgia until 1975.  Carter showed his commitment to civil rights in his term as governor.  He increased the number of black state employees, judges, and board members in a state that had a significant segregationist contingent in the population. His advisor for potential appointments was a black woman named Rita Jackson Samuels who helped him to recruit strategic appointees who would champion civil rights in the state. He placed portraits of Martin Luther King Jr. and two other prominent black Georgians from the 1880s in the capitol building. Henry McNeal Turner, was a Methodist Bishop who served in the state legislature in the 1880's, and Lucy Laney's portrait was also hung and she organized schools in the Augusta area during the 1880s. Yet the Ku Klux Klan picketed the unveiling ceremony showing how civil rights was still a controversial issue and white supremacists like the KKK felt they had the right to openly protest.
