President Jimmy Carter's work with Habitat for Humanity speaks volumes and will continue to do so for years to come.

Jimmy Carter, the late U.S. president who served only one term in office and was widely admired for his humanitarian work after leaving the White House, was remembered during his state funeral on Thursday as a man who put honesty and kindness above partisan politics.

"Jimmy Carter changed the trajectory of my life, which allowed me to influence other people in a positive way. And so his legacy will live on in ways that don't get written about."

Though he once held the most powerful position in the world, Jimmy Carter may be better remembered for his work after leaving office

Jimmy Carter was the first U.S. president to live to be 100 years old — a feat made even more incredible by the fact that he was alive for 40% of the nation’s history. When Carter was born in 1924, former President Calvin Coolidge was nearing the end of his first term and was just a month away from his second presidential election.

There are a number of people from the Piedmont Triad who either worked for President Jimmy Carter’s administration in the White House or worked for his campaigns. Very few got to spend significant time with Carter away from the professional sarcophagus that the White House can be.
