DJ has slight wear and soiling. In March 1977, during her first interview since becoming First Lady, Carter outlined her goals in focusing on mental health: "For every person who needs mental health care to be able to receive it close to his home, and to remove the stigma from mental health care so people will be free to talk about it and seek help. It's been taboo for so long to admit you had a mental health problem." Rosalynn Carter served as an active honorary chair of the President's Commission on Mental Health. On behalf of the Mental Health System Bill, enacted in 1980, she testified before a Senate committee, the second First Lady to appear before the Congress (the first being Eleanor Roosevelt). Of her priorities, mental health was the highest. Working to change the nature of government assistance to the mentally ill, Carter wanted to allow people to be comfortable admitting their disabilities without fear of being called crazy. She was first to hold a caregiver conference that identified issues such as burnout and guilt. And she is extremely proud to sponsor the first and only caregiving program at a major university: Her namesake, the Rosalynn Carter Institute (RCI) for Caregiving at Georgia Southwestern State University in Americus, Georgia, started in 1987.

Washington, DC: The Washington Post, 1983. Presumed First Edition, First printing. Wraps. The format is approximately 9.5 inches by 13 inches. 66, wraps, Illustrated cover. Illustrations. The covers are somewhat worn and soiled. The cover title: Holocaust, the obligation to remember. The Holocaust was the genocide of European Jews during World War II. Between 1941 and 1945, Nazi Germany and its collaborators systematically murdered some six million Jews across German-occupied Europe, around two-thirds of Europe's Jewish population. The murders were carried out primarily through mass shootings and poison gas in extermination camps, chiefly Auschwitz-Birkenau, Treblinka, Belzec, Sobibor, and Che mno in occupied Poland. The Nazis developed their ideology based on racism and pursuit of "living space", and seized power in early 1933. Meant to force all German Jews regardless of means to attempt to emigrate, the regime passed anti-Jewish laws, encouraged harassment, and orchestrated a nationwide pogrom in November 1938. After Germany invaded Poland in September 1939, occupation authorities began to establish ghettos to segregate Jews. Following the invasion of the Soviet Union in June 1941, 1.5 to 2 million Jews were shot by German forces and local collaborators. Many Jewish survivors emigrated outside of Europe after the war. A few Holocaust perpetrators faced criminal trials. Billions of dollars in reparations have been paid, although falling short of the Jews' losses. The Holocaust has also been commemorated in museums, memorials, and culture. It has become central to Western historical consciousness as a symbol of the ultimate human evil. More

New York: Cambridge University Press, 1987. Third printing [stated]. Hardcover. xiv, 320, [2] pages. Notes. Index. In this work the author compares the evolving matrix of race and class relations in two societies that were widely regarded at the time as being the most pervasively racist in the world. The author was particularly interested in the origins of the system and ideology called segregation, which emerged in the American South after about 1890 and in South Africa around the time of the Union in 1910. One of the characteristics of segregation was that to some degree there was accommodation to and tacit acceptance on the part of those whom segregation was designed to control. More
