Former President Jimmy Carter: A Life of Service and Peace

At 100 years old, former President Jimmy Carter has passed away, leaving behind a legacy that spans beyond his single term in office. Carter, a Georgia native, served as the 39th President of the United States from 1977 to 1981. After leaving the White House, he dedicated his life to peace and humanitarian work through the Carter Center, which he founded with his wife, Rosalynn. His efforts earned him the Nobel Peace Prize in 2002. Carter's time in office was marked by the Iran hostage crisis, which affected his re-election chances. Despite this, he remains remembered for his work on the Camp David Accords, a significant peace treaty between Israel and Egypt.
