The United States will hold a national day of mourning for former President Jimmy Carter, who passed away at age 100. Public ceremonies are scheduled in Atlanta, and his state funeral is set for January 9 at the Washington National Cathedral. President Joe Biden has ordered federal flags to be flown at half-staff for 30 days in tribute. Friends and former presidents have praised Carter’s humanitarian contributions and legacy, notably his commitment to global peace and human rights. Carter will be buried next to his wife on their family property in Plains, Georgia.
