Jimmy Carter plans unity conference in Atlanta to fight 'inherent racism'

The Georgia Democrat told The New York Times his summit hopes to heal rifts that erupted among Baptist churches in recent years, adding that the nation "has been reawakened the last two or three years to the fact that we haven't resolved the race issue adequately."
