Helms Since Retirement

Since retiring from the Senate in 2003, Helms remains heavily involved with the Jesse Helms Center in Wingate. In September 2005, Random House published the controversial Here's Where I Stand, Helms's 303-page personal memoir, in which Helms attempted to paint himself as wanting equal rights for all races, despite having consistently opposed such laws during his public life.
