Amy Carter and politics
While her father Jimmy Carter was a Democrat, Amy has kept her personal and political affiliations private.
Amy Carter, the youngest daughter of the late Jimmy Carter, was back in the spotlight as her father was laid to rest at the National Cathedral in Washington D.C. on Thursday.
While Amy has largely kept a low profile in her adult life, she was anything but private during her college days. She attended Brown University and while there she actively protested the CIA and apartheid, wand was later dismissed from the school in 1987 for failing to complete her work as per The New York Times.
Her protest of apartheid resulted in her being put on probation a year earlier, and she was also “arrested for demonstrations at the South African Embassy in Washington, the International Business Machines Corporation office in Providence, and at the University of Massachusetts at Amherst.”
Now 57, she married John Joseph Kelly in 2007. She has two children, son Hugo James Wentzel and daughter Errol Carter Kelly.
