Jimmy Carter’s life and legacy honored in AJC commemorative section

Jimmy Carter, the only Georgian ever elected to the White House, made his mark for decades after leaving the nation’s highest office.

He lived an extraordinary life — from Plains, to the state Capitol, to the nation’s capital and back — living to see his 100th birthday. In the years after his single presidential term, his reputation grew through his and wife Rosalynn Carter’s work at the Carter Center in Atlanta and his philanthropic causes, such as Habitat for Humanity.

To mark the impact that Carter had on our state, our nation and the world, The Atlanta Journal-Constitution has published a special section, An Exemplary Life. The AJC has been there through the years as Carter’s impact grew, and our special coverage highlights his remarkable life.

Visit retail outlets in metro Atlanta where the AJC is sold to buy copies of the 24-page special edition.

Copies of this edition are also available in select locations in Plains, free of charge.

Our online store is the most convenient way to obtain copies of our coverage. In addition to the commemorative section An Exemplary Life, you can also purchase:

• The entire Dec. 30, 2024, edition that includes six pages marking Jimmy Carter’s passing.

• The Man from Plains, a 12-page special section that follows Carter’s road to the White House.
