Carter to be honored with events in Georgia, Washington

Former President Carter will be honored with public observances in both Georgia and Washington, D.C., in the coming days, following his death on Sunday.

He will be interred in Plains, Ga., according to the Carter Center.

Details on events are still being ironed out, handled by the Joint Task Force-National Capital Region.

President Biden said in March 2023 that Carter had asked the sitting president to deliver his eulogy when the time came.

“I spent time with Jimmy Carter, and it’s finally caught up with him, but they found a way to keep him going for a lot longer than they anticipated because they found a breakthrough,” Biden said at a Democratic National Committee fundraiser.

The Carter Center has encouraged anyone wishing to remember Carter to visit an official tribute website, at www.jimmycartertribute.org, home to a condolence book and commemorations of his life.

The center also said the Carter family has asked that in lieu of flowers, donations be made to The Carter Center, 453 John Lewis Freedom Parkway N.E., Atlanta, GA 30307.
