Amy Carter later became known for her political activism, participating in a number of sit-ins and protests during the 1980s and early 1990s, aimed at changing U.S. foreign policy towards South Africa and Central America. Along with activist Abbie Hoffman and thirteen others, she was arrested during a 1987 demonstration at the University of Massachusetts for protesting CIA recruitment there. She was acquitted of all charges in a well-publicized trial in Northampton, Massachusetts. Attorney Leonard Weinglass, who defended Abbie Hoffman in the Chicago Seven trial in the 1960s, utilized the necessity defense, successfully arguing that CIA crimes in Central America and other hotspots were equivalent to trespassing in a burning building.<4> This occurred during Amy's sophomore year at Brown University in Providence, Rhode Island. Later, Amy left Brown due to unrelated and unpublicized issues.
Amy Carter earned a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree (BFA) from the Memphis College of Art and a Master's degree from Tulane University in New Orleans.
Carter collaborated with her father on the 1995 children's book The Little Baby Snoogle-Fleejer (ISBN 0-8129-2731-1); he wrote the story and she illustrated it.
