From Farmer to President

Jimmy Carter rose from a humble peanut farmer to the 39th President of the United States in 1977.

A Tumultuous Presidency

Carter’s presidency faced economic challenges and the Iran hostage crisis, yet achieved the historic Camp David Accord.

Redefining Post-Presidency

Carter chose humility over wealth, returning to his modest home and dedicating his life to global humanitarian causes.

Champion of Peace

In 2002, Carter received the Nobel Peace Prize for his work promoting human rights and resolving global conflicts.

The Elders Initiative

Carter co-founded "The Elders" with Nelson Mandela to advocate for global peace and justice.

Tributes from World Leaders

Biden called him a “man of principle,” and Macron praised his advocacy for vulnerable communities worldwide.

National Mourning Declared

Flags will fly at half-mast for 30 days, and a national day of mourning is set for January 9.

Family First

Carter shared his life of service with his wife Rosalynn, to whom he was married for 77 years, and their large family.

Inspiring Generations

Carter’s commitment to faith, humility, and justice inspires leaders and citizens globally to strive for a better world.

A Legacy of Grace

As Obama reflected, Carter’s life exemplified grace, dignity, and unwavering service to humanity.
