Jimmy Carter, the 39th President of the United States, passed away on Sunday at the age of 100, over a year after entering hospice care at his home in Plains, Georgia. The Carter Center confirmed his death in a statement on X (formerly Twitter), stating that he passed peacefully, surrounded by his family.
Born on October 1, 1924, in Plains, Georgia, Carter was a peanut farmer before transitioning into politics. He served as the 76th Governor of Georgia from 1971 to 1975 before ascending to national leadership. At 52, Carter was inaugurated as President on January 20, 1977, after defeating incumbent President Gerald R. Ford in the 1976 general election.
During his presidency, Carter sought to restore trust in government following the Watergate scandal and emphasized human rights in foreign policy. Despite his significant achievements, including brokering the Camp David Accords between Israel and Egypt, his presidency faced challenges, such as the Iran hostage crisis and economic issues, which contributed to his defeat by Ronald Reagan in the 1980 election.
After leaving office on January 20, 1981, Carter dedicated himself to humanitarian work, championing global peace, democracy, and human rights through the Carter Center, which he founded in 1982. His efforts earned him the Nobel Peace Prize in 2002.
Carter’s legacy extends beyond his presidency, with his tireless dedication to improving the lives of others through initiatives combating poverty, disease, and conflict worldwide. His remarkable life stands as a testament to service, compassion, and resilience.
Jimmy Carter is survived by his wife, Rosalynn Carter, their children, and a lasting legacy that continues to inspire.
