The White House: Proclamation Announcing the Death of James Earl Carter, Jr.
Jimmy Carter was the longest-living president in U.S. history. At 100, he surpassed the previous record set by George H. W. Bush, who lived to be 94, setting a new benchmark. Carter will always be remembered as a symbol of a long and fulfilled life dedicated to serving humanity.
Carter served as President of the United States from 1977 to 1981 and is particularly remembered for his role as a mediator in the Camp David Accords. For his tireless efforts toward world peace and human rights, he was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 2002.
After stepping down from politics, Carter founded the Carter Center, renowned worldwide for its work in health projects, democracy promotion, and election monitoring. His life’s work remains a lasting example of the ongoing fight for social justice and human rights.
