Jimmy Carter, the 39th President of the United States, has passed away at the age of 100, making him the longest-living president in U.S. history. His death, following a period in hospice care, concludes a life marked by both political service and humanitarian efforts.
Carter's presidency, though just a single term, is remembered for its focus on human rights and efforts to broker peace in the Middle East. These initiatives, often considered ahead of their time, established a foundation for his post-presidential work.
Beyond the White House, Carter dedicated himself to global initiatives. He co-founded the Carter Center, a non-governmental organization that has worked tirelessly to eradicate diseases and promote democracy worldwide. His commitment to these causes led to him being awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 2002.
As highlighted by NBC's Peter Alexander, Carter's remarkable life extended far beyond his time in office. His work on issues of global health, social justice, and peace have left an indelible mark on the world, continuing to inspire long after his presidency.
