📜 A Life of Purpose

Born in Alabama in 1936, Carter marched alongside great leaders like Martin Luther King Jr., led protests that changed laws, and founded several educational programs that continue to uplift underserved communities to this day.

From prison cells to presidential ceremonies, Carter never lost his hope in humanity. And humanity never forgot him.
