It’s time to celebrate! Jimmy Carter, America’s humanitarian-in-chief, is 100 years old today! The longest-living former U.S. president co-founded The Carter Center in 1982, received the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 1999, and won the Nobel Peace Prize in 2002. The former Navy man, peanut farmer, governor, and husband to the late Rosalynn Carter will mark his big day at home in Plains, Georgia. bit.ly/3zFj0Pf
