The Carters elected to walk the parade route from the Capitol to the White House following his inauguration in Washington on Jan. 20, 1977. Carter announced his campaign for the presidency in December 1974. At that point he had never met an American president. He later said part of what nudged him into the race was meeting several candidates ahead of the 1972 campaign and concluding that he was talented as they were. (Suzanne Vlamis/AP)
