America’s 39th president, James Earl “Jimmy” Carter Jr., died on December 29, 2024 at his home in Plains, Georgia. At 100 years old, Carter was the oldest living president in U.S. history. While the successes of Carter's one term in office were overshadowed by gas lines, inflation, and a hostage crisis, his legacy has largely been shaped by his post-presidential accomplishments as peacemaker and champion for the poor. 🇺🇸 Stream JIMMY CARTER online or in the PBS app. | American Experience | PBS
