U.S. President Jimmy Carter died today, Dec. 29, 2024, at the age of 100, making him the longest-living President. He passed away at his home in Plains, Georgia, around 3:45pm ET, according to his son, James E. Carter (known as Chip). Plains was a formative part of Carter’s life and career — the great documentary about Jimmy Carter (directed by Jonathan Demme of Silence of the Lambs and Stop Making Sense fame) was even called Man from Plains, which focused on his book tour supporting Palestine: Peace Not Apartheid, one of the many of pro-peace campaigns that Carter fought for throughout his life. Carter would go on to win the Nobel Peace Prize.
