Emory publications Corter holds o press conference were invited ond oole to con- ot the opening of his Presidentiol duct personol interviews. Center, on event with notionol Q. Center G Attention ive years ago, President limmy Carter came to Emory University as a distinguished professor with a dream. The realization of his dream was culminated on Wednes- day, October l, l9B6, with the official opening of the Car- ter Presidential Center. The event was open to the public and the crowd was a mixture of many people, including Emory students. The celebration was somewhat reminiscent of a political rally complete with souvenir American flags, free Coca-Cola. the Pt. Mcpherson Military Band, the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra, and protesters of everything from the Presiden- tial Parkway to Apartheid in South Africa to the Nuclear Arms Race. President Carter officiated the ceremony for the dedica- tion of his center. The invocation was given by Bishop William R. Cannon, who also gave the invocation at Car- ter's inaugration. Cannon lauded Carter for his compas- sionate concern for the welfare of all people: and for his continuous striving for peace, prosperity and goodness. Atlanta Mayor Andrew Young and Georgia Governor l-lar- ris offered their praises of President Carter and his center now established in Georgia's capitol city. Robert Goizueta, Chairman of the Board of the Coca-Cola Company, stated that the Carter Presidential Center brings us tAtlantal one step closer to being a truly lnternational city. Looking into the crowd, President Carter announced that l now have an honor that l never had before in my life W ladies and gentlemen, The President of the United States, President Reagan said that the Carter Center gives the story of the life of a man who is uniquely American. With regard to the dedication, Reagan indicated that this celebration is in a sense a celebration of the South, the New South that limmy Carter helped to build. President Reagan had his praises for former President limmy Carter, too, For myself, l can pay you no higher respect than to simply say thisz you gave of yourself to your country, gracing the White House with your passion and intellect and commitment, Now you have become a permanent part of that grand old house, so rich in tradition that belongs to us all. President Reagan was followed by Emory University President lames T. Laney, who indicated that this was a great day in higher education. President Carter then pre- sented the deed to the library and museum, as a gift from his family to the people of the US., to Archivist Frank Burke. We appreciate the past, we are grateful for the present, and we look forward to the future with great antici- pation and commitment. l hope that our lives will never be a disappointment to you, The S25 million Carter Presidential Center houses four major entities. The presidential library houses more than 27 million documents as well as photographs, gifts and mo- mentos from the Carter Administration and serves as a resource for scholars and the public. The Carter Center of Emory University unites President Carters public policy agenda with that of Emory to offer a constructive, nonparti- san atmosphere for scholars, policy makers, and experts from around the world. The academic and research orien- tation of the Carter Center is balanced internationally through two entities that actively express the Carter agenda abroad: Global QOOO lnc,, which initiates prograrris to ad- dress worldwide hunger, health and environmental prob- lems, and the Carter-lvfenil Human Rights Foundation, es- tablished to correct human rights abuses around the world, Certainly, the Carter Presidential Centers contributions in helping to stimulate intellectual exchange and the creation ot solutions to the many world problems are only lust begin- ning.. by Kevin Menclre crirfiiir ciii-iris? 233 'Q l l I i b l l
