Heather Cox Richardson adds some telling details that highlight the contrast between Carter and Maddox:

"[Carter’s] predecessor, Maddox, had refused to let state workers take the day off to attend services for the Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s funeral; Carter pointedly hung a portrait of King – as well as portraits of educator Lucy Craft Laney and Georgia politician and minister Henry McNeal Turner – in the State Capitol."
