Eastvale — For most people, it is an honor to meet the man who keeps our country organized. But for two Eastvale residents, it is a privilege to be the closest to a presidential figure. Amelia Crawford and her brother W. Jackson are the great-grand children of the 39th president of the United States, Jimmy Carter.
Crawford and Jackson reveal they carry great pride that there is such an influential figure in their family tree. Former Pres. Carter has been awarded with a Nobel Peace Prize, is part of the Habitat for Humanity project, and aided America during trying times. The Crawford and Jackson families celebrated Black History Month knowing that their family members have helped this country prosper to its current might.
Wilbur Jones, a cousin of Crawford and Jackson, has researched their family’s history and has organized his findings into a book — “Cecelia and Nancy Carter, a Family History” — for others to read the story of this family’s relationship to Pres. Carter. Pick up your copy today to read more about this family.
