@nytopinion: In 2007, while visiting a village in Ethiopia that was impacted by river blindness, former President Jimmy Carter shared his thoughts with @nytopinion columnist Nicholas Kristof on how he defines human rights. “I think there’s a human right to live a decent life, to have a home in which to sleep at night, to be free of preventable diseases, to have some hope that the future will be better than the past” said Carter, who lived to 100. His center is credited with vastly decreasing cases of river blindness worldwide. | 🎥: @byjamesrobinson and @nickkristofnyt #jimmycarter #nytopinion
