Jimmy Carter, celebrated for his humility and service, was honored at a state funeral at Washington National Cathedral on Thursday.
The event, marked by a somber pageantry, drew all of his living presidential successors, including President Biden, who delivered the eulogy.
Tributes focused on Carter’s post-presidency humanitarian work, his unwavering character, and his enduring impact despite electoral setbacks.
Grandsons Joshua and Jason Carter shared personal anecdotes, highlighting his humility, frugality, and deep connection to his roots.
The funeral provided a rare moment of unity in a deeply divided nation. Former Presidents Obama and Trump, despite their past animosity, engaged in a brief but cordial exchange.
Following the cathedral service, a private funeral will be held at Maranatha Baptist Church in Plains, Georgia, where Carter served as a Sunday school teacher for many years.
