Jimmy Carter marks 100th birthday as longest-living US president
Former U.S. President Jimmy Carter celebrates his 100th birthday today, making him the longest-living president in history. He served from January 1977 to January 1981 and won the Nobel Peace Prize in 2002 for his humanitarian efforts. Carter's birthday comes 19 months after he entered hospice care. A tribute concert held last month raised over $1 million for the Carter Center, which he founded. He plans to watch the concert on Georgia Public Broadcasting. In honor of his birthday, Habitat for Humanity volunteers, including country music stars, will build 30 homes in St. Paul, Minnesota. This project highlights the Carters' long-standing commitment to helping those in need.
