Born into a peanut farming family in Plains, Georgia, Jimmy Carter's journey from the farm to the White House is a tale of determination and commitment. After graduating from the Naval Academy and serving in the Navy, Carter returned to Georgia, where he began his political career in the State Senate. His dedication to human rights and honesty served him well as he ascended to the Governorship of Georgia, and eventually, the Presidency of the United States. During his presidency, Carter helped broker the historic Camp David Accords, but also faced challenges such as the Iran hostage crisis. After his presidency, Carter's commitment to humanitarian work only grew. He established the Carter Center, through which he has fought disease and championed democracy worldwide, earning him the Nobel Peace Prize in 2002.
