In brief
Former President Jimmy Carter has passed away at the age of 100, as confirmed by the Carter Center, an organization dedicated to promoting democracy and human rights globally.
Carter's life journey started as a humble peanut farmer, and he made history by becoming the oldest-serving president, celebrating his centenary just last October. He died peacefully on Sunday at his home in Plains, Georgia. Serving from 1977 to 1981, Carter's presidency was marked by significant economic and foreign challenges. His post-presidential journey saw a revival of his public image, largely attributed to his extensive humanitarian efforts, which culminated in him receiving the Nobel Peace Prize.Reflecting on his father's impact, Chip Carter shared, "My father was a hero, not only to me but to everyone who believes in peace, human rights, and unselfish love." He emphasized Carter's belief in unity and the importance of shared values, thanking those who continue to honor his father's legacy. Carter is survived by his four children, 11 grandchildren, and 14 great-grandchildren. He was married to his beloved wife, Rosalynn, for 77 years, who sadly passed away just months prior in November 2023.
