The ceremonies will conclude in his hometown of Plains, Georgia, where he will be buried beside his wife of 77 years, Rosalynn Carter, who passed away in 2023. Together, the Carters had long planned their modest resting place in Plains, where they began their lives together on a peanut farm.

Carter died on Sunday December 29, 2024, at his home in Plains, Georgia. He was the longest-living president in U.S. history.

Their walk paid tribute to the one Jimmy and Rosalynn Carter took on his inauguration day back in 1977. Per the White House, “Carter was the first President to exit the motorcade car to walk the parade. Since then, it has become a traditional part of the Inaugural Parade.”

Amid the energy crisis of the 1970s, President Jimmy Carter hoped to reduce America's dependence on foreign oil.

The body of President Jimmy Carter has arrived in Washington, D.C. as the nation prepares for the official state funeral for the former Commander-in-Chief.

The need for alternative sources of energy and a desire for energy independence prompted President Jimmy Carter to install the first solar panels on the roof of the White House in 1979. The panels were later removed by the Reagan administration in 1986 and placed in storage.

The panels, removed under Ronald Reagan, found new homes from Maine to China. And their legacy still reverberates.

Jimmy Carter was an evangelical. A liberal evangelical. A liberal evangelical in the age before the Christian Right supported a conservative revolution that swept Republican Ronald Reagan into power.

Unity College acquired the panels in 1991 after they were removed from the White House, and they were used to heat water at the school's cafeteria for years.
