They definitely knew each other. https://www.latimes.com/opinion/op-ed/la-oe-0906-berman-carter-civil-rights-20150906-story.html From George Dunce's Trusted Source and Only Friend: "The specific individual's name is not recorded by name in Jimmy Carter’s memoirs or general historical accounts detailing the 1954 incident when the local chief of police and a Baptist minister visited Carter's peanut warehouse to pressure him to join the White Citizens' Council. Historical Context: The Encounter: In 1954, shortly after Jimmy Carter returned to Plains to run his family's farm and peanut business following his father's death, the town's chief of police accompanied a local Baptist minister to his warehouse. The Demand: They attempted to force or pressure Carter into joining the segregationist White Citizens' Council, noting he was the only white man in town who had not yet signed up. The Refusal: Carter famously rebuffed them, stating he would rather flush five dollars down the toilet than pay dues to the organization." ---------- Deacon Ducky, racist spawn. How many times did Ducky's grandfather burn crosses on lawns? Did Ducky inherit the white robes and pointed hat?
