Jimmy Carter is a former American politician, philanthropist, and farmer who served as the 39th President of the United States from 1977 to 1981. Born in Plains, Georgia, in 1924, Carter graduated from the United States Naval Academy in 1946 and served in the Navy until 1953. After leaving the military, he returned to Georgia and became involved in politics, serving as a state senator and later as the governor of Georgia from 1971 to 1975.
Carter's presidency was marked by a number of significant events, including the Camp David Accords between Israel and Egypt, the Iran hostage crisis, and the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan. After leaving office, he continued to be active in public life, founding the Carter Center, a non-profit organization dedicated to promoting human rights and democracy around the world.
Recently, Carter has been in the news due to his declining health. In November 2021, he was hospitalized for a urinary tract infection, and in December of that year, he was hospitalized again for dehydration. In January 2022, it was announced that he had entered hospice care at his home in Plains, Georgia. Despite his health issues, Carter has remained active in his philanthropic work, and his legacy as a champion of human rights and democracy continues to inspire people around the world.
