In Memoriam
Jimmy Carter
1924–2024
The bond of our common humanity is stronger than the divisiveness of our fears and prejudices. God gives us the capacity for choice. We can choose to alleviate suffering. We can choose to work together for peace. We can make these changes — and we must.
— Jimmy Carter Nobel Lecture, 2002
On Dec. 29, 2024, the Carter Center family lost its beloved founder, former U.S. President Jimmy Carter. He passed away peacefully at age 100, surrounded by loved ones at the home in Plains, Georgia, that he had shared with his beloved wife, Rosalynn, from 1961 until her death in November 2023.
President Carter believed in giving every effort, as broadly as possible, to make a positive difference in the world. His legacy will remain an ongoing inspiration to us at The Carter Center and to everyone who believes in compassion, justice, and human rights.
We at The Carter Center continue to look to President and Mrs. Carter as guiding lights for our ongoing work to wage peace, fight disease, and build hope around the world.
