The Carters spent just four years in the White House during troubled times and almost four decades out of it redefining what a former president and first lady can accomplish.
Jimmy Carter was president from 1977 to 1981 and he won a Nobel Peace Prize in 2002 for his humanitarian work.

Up until 2014 Rosalynn Carter went to Africa with her husband a couple of times each year. Rosalynn Carter got emotional when she talked with me about visiting a village where guinea worm, a debilitating disease that in 1986 afflicted an estimated 3.5 million people a year in Asia and Africa, had been eradicated. There were only 28 cases in 2018 because of the work of the Carter Center.

I vividly recall the ‘Iran Crises” and our hostages being held until the day Reagan took office.
