Carter campaigned for legislation forcing health insurance to cover mental healthcare and fought to remove stigma around the topic through a fellowship program for journalists. “There are hundreds of fellows that were inspired by Mrs. Carter, and that has led to a sea change,” says Aaron Glantz, award-winning journalist and former Rosalynn Carter Fellow for Mental Health Journalism. “There was no established beat for mental health in journalism, and she’s utterly changed that.

A FB friend pulled this out of her scrapbook today in a tribute to #RosalynCarter. It was the day she gave the graduation speech at our tiny little women's college in Georgia.
