Former President Jimmy Carter has died at the age of 100, after more than a year in hospice care. He was a Georgia peanut farmer who sought to restore trust in government as president and then built a reputation for tireless work as a humanitarian. He earned a Nobel Peace Prize in 2002 while making himself the most active and internationally engaged of ex-presidents. He was a peacemaker, a champion of democracy and public health, and a monitor of human rights around the world. Carter said his Baptist faith demanded that he do whatever he could, wherever he could, for as long as he could, to try to make a difference.
