Former President Jimmy Carter Dies at 100

Former President Jimmy Carter, who recently passed away at 100, is remembered for his extensive humanitarian work, particularly with Habitat for Humanity, which helped build over 800 homes in Maryland. His visits to various states, including Rhode Island in 1979 during an energy conference and Miami in 1980 amid racial unrest, showcased his engagement with local issues and communities.
