Famous Trustee: Jimmy Carter

Did you know Jimmy Carter was a trustee of the Brotherhood Commission in the 1970s? Here's a passage from "From Politics to Poetics" by the former President where he mentions the Commission:

"Having studied typing and shorthand in high school, I did my own stenographic work on a portable typewriter during weekends at home. When it was finished, I called some small publishers in Georgia, none of whom would print the book. Finally, Broadman Press in Nashville looked at a few chapters and agreed to publish it. They print all the Southern Baptist literature, and I had some influence with them as a member of the Baptists' Brotherhood Commission. There was no thought of an author's advance, but I received a percentage of the volumes printed. I gave these to potential political supporters and sold a few at my early political rallies."
