The World Remembers Jimmy Carter, Dead at 100
Jimmy Carter, the 39th President of the United States and a widely respected humanitarian, has died at the age of 100. The Carter Center, his charity, made the news and verified that he died peacefully in Plains, Georgia.
A Long and Impactful Life
Carter is the longest-living president in US history, having served from 1977 to 1981. Known for his humility and dedication to public service, Carter’s life was marked by significant contributions in and out of office.
During his presidency, Carter tackled a range of challenges, particularly in foreign policy. However, his tenure ended after one term when he lost the 1980 election to Ronald Reagan.
Battling Health Challenges
In recent years, Carter’s health has been in decline. In 2023, he chose hospice care after discontinuing medical treatments for melanoma, a form of cancer that had spread to his liver and brain. Despite his health issues, Carter remained a figure of perseverance and service.
A Legacy of Peace and Service
Carter’s post-presidential years were even more impactful. In 1982, he and his wife Rosalynn founded The Carter Center, an organization dedicated to promoting democracy, human rights, and global health. The Center has monitored over 100 elections worldwide and worked to combat diseases like Guinea worm.
In 2002, Carter received the Nobel Peace Prize for his efforts to resolve international conflicts, such as easing tensions on the Korean Peninsula, preventing a U.S. invasion of Haiti, and mediating ceasefires in Bosnia and Sudan.
Tributes from World Leaders
President Joe Biden praised Carter, describing him as a “man of conviction, faith, and humility.” He asked Americans to look to Carter’s life as an example of purpose and integrity, noting that his leadership exemplified bravery, compassion, and strength.
State Funeral Announced
In honour of Carter’s remarkable life, a state funeral will be held in Washington, D.C. This ceremony will serve as a national farewell to a leader who dedicated his life to public service and the betterment of society.
Jimmy Carter’s passing marks the end of an extraordinary era, but his legacy as a peacemaker, humanitarian, and advocate for democracy will continue to inspire generations.
