A six-day state ceremony honoring former U.S. President Jimmy Carter commenced in Georgia on Saturday and will conclude in Washington, D.C., on Thursday. The procession featured Carter’s family members, reflecting on his deep rural roots and long life dedicated to democracy and human rights. Carter, who passed away at the age of 100, will be honored with a state funeral at the National Cathedral, followed by a private burial in Georgia. President Joe Biden has declared a national day of mourning during this period.
