Democratic presidential candidate Jimmy Carter will pay his first post-convention visit to Boston this afternoon, sandwiching a domestic policy address at Boston College between two stops at an East Boston hotel.
Flying in from Buffalo, N.Y., around noon, the former Georgia governor will attend a private reception at the East Boston Ramada Inn sponsored by the Massachusetts Democratic State Committee.
After his 1:30 p.m. speech at B.C.'s Roberts Center, Carter will return to the Ramada Inn to address members of the Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations. At 4 p.m. he is scheduled to leave for Portland, Me.
Carter will be picketed at the hotel by demonstrators from and supporters of the Boston Coalition for the Liberation of Southern Africa. In a statement released yesterday, the coalition called on Carter to "speak out publicly on what he would do as president to insure the immediate destruction of apartheid in South Africa and transfer of power into the hands of the black majority in South Africa, Zimbabwe and Namibia."
