Honoring the Legacy of President Jimmy Carter

President Jimmy Carter was a remarkable man with a deeply compassionate heart.  A champion of human rights and advocate for underserved communities, President Carter helped improve the lives of millions of people across the globe.  His philanthropic legacy will live on through the extraordinary work of the Carter Center but his leadership, humility and compassion will be dearly missed.
