About Jimmy Carter and The Carter Center
Jimmy Carter was a man of high principle, steadfast integrity, and deep faith who dedicated his life to public service. As a private citizen and public official, he pursued the causes of human rights, peace, and care for the least fortunate with passionate determination and boundless energy. Throughout his life, he repeatedly placed what he believed to be right above personal and political considerations. His quiet voice and ready smile masked a bulldog determination and an adherence to principle.
In 1982, President Jimmy Carter and Mrs. Rosalynn Carter founded The Carter Center to “wage peace, fight disease, and build hope” in nations around the world. In 2002, during the 20th anniversary year of the Carter Center’s founding, President Carter was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize “for his decades of untiring effort to find peaceful solutions to international conflicts, to advance democracy and human rights, and to promote economic and social development.
