Jimmy Carter, Former US President, Turns 100

Today, October 1, 2024, Jimmy Carter, the 39th President of the United States, celebrates his 100th birthday. This historic event makes Carter the first US president to reach this remarkable age.

Carter’s presidency, from 1977 to 1981, was marked by numerous challenges. The fall of the Shah in Iran, the hostage crisis at the US Embassy in Tehran, and the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan were among the major crises he faced. Additionally, domestic economic issues posed serious challenges for his administration.

However, the years following his departure from the White House have transformed Carter into a beloved and respected figure on the international stage. His tireless efforts in global peace, human rights, and environmental issues have significantly enhanced his legacy.

Experts believe that Carter’s humanitarian activities post-presidency, including his work with the Carter Foundation, have played a crucial role in improving his public image. Today, as he enters his second century of life, Jimmy Carter continues to be recognized as a symbol of community service and commitment to human values.
