Jimmy Carter, the 39th US president, has died at the age of 100, leaving behind a legacy of peace and humanitarian efforts.
Plains: It’s a sad day as we learn that former President Jimmy Carter has passed away at the age of 100. The news came from the Carter Center, confirming he died in his hometown of Plains, Georgia.
His son, Chip, shared some heartfelt words, calling his dad a hero for everyone who believes in peace and love. He mentioned how their family shared him with the world through these values.
Carter served as president from 1977 to 1981, a time filled with challenges like the Cold War and social changes. He lost the election to Ronald Reagan in 1981 but continued to make a difference after his presidency.
He wrote over 30 books and was active in humanitarian work, earning the Nobel Peace Prize in 2002 for his efforts in promoting peace and human rights.
One of his famous quotes reflects his dedication: he believed it was his duty to make a difference wherever he could. He even made a state visit to the UK in 1977 and received a special message from the King on his 100th birthday.
Donald Trump also paid tribute, acknowledging the tough times Carter faced as president and expressing gratitude for his efforts to improve lives. He and Melania are keeping the Carter family in their thoughts during this tough time.
It’s worth noting that just a few months ago, Rosalynn Carter, Jimmy’s beloved wife, passed away after battling dementia. He often spoke about how much she meant to him, calling her his equal partner.
The Carter Center has announced that there will be public observances in Atlanta and Washington, D.C., as they prepare for his state funeral. Details about the arrangements are still being finalized.
