Remembering Jimmy Carter a year after his death
AJC journalists Greg Bluestein and Patricia Murphy talk about the legacy of the Carters.
After losing the 1980 election, Rosalynn and Jimmy Carter returned to Plains. The Carters were a major presence at the annual Peanut Festival there, including in 2016 when they signed books, handed out road race awards and took in the parade. (Ben Gray for the AJC 2016)
Monday marks the one-year anniversary of the death of President Jimmy Carter at age 100.
Carter, a native of Plains, was the only Georgian to be elected president, serving from 1977 to 1981.
