Description

President Carter’s Crisis of Confidence speech is considered one of the most iconic moments of his Presidency. So how did we come to profoundly misremember it today? On this Episode of Recollecting Carter, I talk again with Dr. Amber Roessner, author of Jimmy Carter and the Birth of the Marathon Media Campaign, about Carter’s speech and why our collective memory of it is so stubbornly inaccurate.
