It is with profound sadness that we remember President Jimmy Carter, the 39th President of the United States. President Carter’s legacy as a humanitarian, peacemaker, and public servant continues to inspire generations of Americans. His creation of the Department of Education demonstrated his deep commitment to ensuring quality education for all Americans and strengthening our nation’s future.
We recall with appreciation his memorable 1976 appearance at Albright College, where he shared his vision for America and spoke passionately about faith, employment, and his hopes for our nation. During that speech, his authenticity and moral clarity exemplified the qualities that would define his presidency and his extraordinary post-presidential career.
President Carter’s dedication to public service, both during and after his presidency, set a remarkable example of lifelong commitment to improving the lives of others. His work through the Carter Center and his tireless efforts for peace and human rights around the world have left a permanent mark on global history.
Our thoughts remain with the Carter family and all those whose lives were touched by this remarkable American leader.
