Was/will there be anything for Jimmy Carter at the convention?

Understandable that he doesn't necessarily have Clinton's speaking presence or tangible presidential record, but I'd hate for him to be shoved in the corner, given that he probably is the most decent and honest man to ever hold the office.

The guy was in his mid 80s at the time and flying all around the country. That's pretty incredible.

He always starts by saying that he was the most honest and honorable man to ever be President. He then goes one to say things about him I will not repeat.

I love Jimmy Carter.
