Our cofounder Jean Oelwang beautifully captures President Carter's memorial—a tribute to his lifelong commitment to service, faith, and unity.

Today we honor the passing of President Carter, a giant of moral courage and a model of remarkable partnership. His humility, his belief in possibility, his commitment to service, his curiosity, his deep humanity, and his sheer determination to do the right thing made him a beacon for all that is good in this world. He was loved into being by the incredible Rosalynn Carter, a 77-year partnership that shaped both of their lives with love and light. The Carter Center has set up a lovely tribute site: jimmycartertribute.org/
