Jimmy Carter practiced an unwavering commitment to peace, human rights, and service to others.
As the 39th President of the United States, he prioritized diplomacy, including brokering the Camp David Accords, a historic peace agreement between Egypt and Israel.
Solar panels were first installed on the White House during Jimmy Carter’s presidency in 1979 as a symbol of his commitment to renewable energy and environmental sustainability. These panels were used to heat water in the White House. However, they were removed during the Reagan administration in 1986. Decades later, in 2014, President Barack Obama reinstalled solar panels on the White House to generate electricity and showcase a renewed focus on clean energy. This move highlighted the importance of solar power as part of a broader strategy to combat climate change and promote sustainable practices.
After leaving office, Carter continued his dedication to humanitarian causes, founding the Carter Center to promote global health, democracy, and conflict resolution. His humility, tireless work with Habitat for Humanity, and lifelong advocacy for the underserved have made him a symbol of integrity and compassion in public service.
Our country has lost a true American.
Rest in peace.
