Amy Lynn Carter is the daughter of 39th U.S. president Jimmy Carter and his first lady, Rosalynn Carter. Carter entered the limelight as a child when she lived in the White House during the Carter presidency.

Who is Amy Carter?

Amy Carter was born on October 19, 1967, in Plains, Georgia. In 1970, her father was elected governor of Georgia, and then, in 1976, president of the United States. She was raised in the Plains until her father was elected governor when her family moved into the Georgia Governor’s Mansion in Atlanta. She was nine when her father was elected U.S. president and the family moved to the White House.

Carter attended public schools in Washington during her four years in the White House: first Stevens Elementary School and then Rose Hardy Middle School.

After her father’s presidency, Carter moved to Atlanta and spent her senior year of high school at Woodward Academy in College Park, Georgia. She was a Senate page during the 1982 summer session. Carter attended Brown University but was academically dismissed in 1987 “for failing to keep up with her coursework”.

She later earned a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree from the Memphis College of Art and a master’s degree in art history from Tulane University in New Orleans in 1996.

Activism of Amy Carter

Carter later became known for her political activism. She participated in sit-ins and protests during the 1980s and early 1990s that were aimed at changing U.S. foreign policy towards South African apartheid and Central America.

Along with activist Abbie Hoffman and 13 others, she was arrested during a 1986 demonstration at the University of Massachusetts Amherst for protesting CIA recruitment there. She was acquitted of all charges in a well-publicized trial in Northampton, Massachusetts.

Attorney Leonard Weinglass, who defended Abbie Hoffman in the Chicago Seven trial in the 1960s, utilized the necessity defense, successfully arguing that because the CIA was involved in criminal activity in Central America and other hotspots, preventing it from recruiting on campus was equivalent to trespassing in a burning building.

Personal life of Amy Carter

Carter illustrated The Little Baby Snoogle-Fleejer, her father’s book for children, published in 1995.

In September 1996, Carter married computer consultant James Gregory Wentzel whom she met while attending Tulane. Wentzel was a manager at Chapter Eleven, an Atlanta bookstore, where Carter worked part-time. They had a son, Hugo James Wentzel. The couple divorced. In 2007, Carter married John Joseph “Jay” Kelly. They had another son, Errol Carter Kelly.
