Jimmy Carter was a warrior for peace. We must continue his fight | Katrina vanden Heuvel

We should remember his fearlessness in the cause of peace, and his faith in the democratic institutions he fought to protect

Jimmy Carter died on Sunday at the age of 100. The former president’s passing followed that of former first lady Rosalynn Carter, to whom he was married from 1946 until her death in 2023. After leaving the White House in 1981, Carter enjoyed by far the longest retirement of any president in history: nearly 44 years.

Tributes have invariably described Carter as a decent, dedicated public servant; a longtime Sunday school teacher who built homes with Habitat for Humanity. A humble man who lived modestly and who, unlike his successors, did not enrich himself on the speaker circuit.
