In brief
Carter's journey from peanut farmer to president and humanitarian leaves an indelible mark on history.
Jimmy Carter, the former US president known for his dedication to human rights and peace, has passed away at the age of 100. The Carter Center confirmed his death on Sunday afternoon at his home in Plains, Georgia. Celebrating his centennial last October, Carter holds the record as the longest-living US president. Serving from 1977 to 1981, his presidency faced significant challenges, including economic instability and diplomatic tensions. However, after leaving office, Carter transformed his legacy through extensive humanitarian efforts, earning him the Nobel Peace Prize. His son, Chip Carter, released a heartfelt statement, honoring his father's memory as one that united people under the ideals of peace and love. Carter is remembered fondly and survived by his four children, 11 grandchildren, and 14 great-grandchildren. His longtime wife, Rosalynn, passed away just last year.
