Book Events Canceled at Jimmy Carter Presidential Library Stir Controversy Over Political Influence in Atlanta

• Share on:

Three book events scheduled at the Jimmy Carter Presidential Library and Museum in Atlanta were abruptly canceled and relocated, raising concerns about potential political influence from President Donald Trump's administration. Authors Elaine Weiss, Mike Tidwell, and Brian Goldstone, whose works address civil rights, climate change, and homelessness, expressed their worries that the cancellations may be linked to the content of their books. The National Archives and Records Administration stated that programming decisions are left to the leadership of each presidential library, while the library itself has not provided further comment on the situation.
