America Celebrates Former President, Jimmy Carter As He Clocks 100 Years

United States celebrate it’s first former President who turned 100 years, President Jimmy Carter. As praises pour in from all over for the peanut farmer whose post-presidential career resonated far beyond his short time in office.

Carter marked his birthday on Tuesday from his birthplace of Plains, Georgia, where he entered hospice care in his modest home last year.
He is both the oldest living president and the longest living president in US history, with an outsized legacy defined by his human rights and humanitarian work after a presidency during which he was heavily criticised.
While Carter did not attend any events for his birthday, it was marked in September by a concert in Atlanta, Georgia, where several former US presidents sent video messages praising Carter’s life’s work. A recording of the concert was to air in the US on Tuesday night.
A year after leaving the presidency, Carter launched the Carter Center charity, which has led an array of global programmes. Those include overseeing election integrity around the world, promoting human rights and strengthening public health.
