He may have the unenviable distinction of being among the one-term presidents but the
00:04
former peanut farmer from Plains, Georgia is also the most successful ex-president in
00:09
uplifting the lives of millions worldwide and the only one in the history of the union
00:14
to reach the age of 100.
00:16
Bway's Kane Faribault tells us more.
00:23
It was a celebration fit for a centenary.
00:32
The Fox Theater in Atlanta hosted dozens of musical acts and thousands of guests for a
00:36
concert celebrating the 100th birthday of Georgia's former governor and U.S. President
00:44
Jimmy Carter.
00:45
And it's a way to be together and I think that is who he is fundamentally.
00:48
Jason Carter believes the concert, featuring some performers who campaigned for his grandfather
00:53
in the 1970s, is a unifying and bipartisan way to celebrate what one documentary film
01:02
director calls the rock and roll president.
01:05
That brings people together across geographies, across culture, across any sort of racial
01:09
dividing lines.
01:10
I mean, you'll have Democrats, Republicans in here tonight.
01:12
One person noticeably absent from the celebration was Jimmy Carter himself.
01:17
He remains in hospice care at his home, a town 240 kilometers south of Atlanta.
01:22
It's a 600 person village in the middle of nowhere.
01:25
And all of his other work at the end of the road in Africa has been in those same kinds
01:29
of 600 person villages.
01:31
And he feels a kinship there.
01:32
He feels a connection there.
01:33
And I think the way that he marks this moment is by being at home.
01:37
Jimmy Carter celebrates his historic birthday milestone quietly at his home here in Plains,
01:42
Georgia, where on October 1st, 1924, Lillian Carter gave birth to the first U.S. president
01:49
born in a hospital.
01:50
But the only reason he was born in a hospital was because his mother was working that day.
01:55
Jill Stuckey is a Carter family friend who serves as superintendent of the Jimmy Carter
01:59
National Historical Park, which includes his preserved Depression-era boyhood farm, the
02:04
old Plains High School where he studied, and the railroad depot that he converted into
02:09
his campaign headquarters in his successful 1976 White House bid.
02:13
Of course, a lot of them head straight to peanut butter ice cream.
02:16
Stuckey says Plains celebrates their famous neighbor every day.
02:20
But this historic birthday is marked by serving others.
02:23
We're naturalizing 100 new citizens in his honor.
02:28
Carter's milestone is a bittersweet occasion in Plains.
02:31
It's the first spent without his wife, Rosalynn, who passed away last November.
02:35
Seventy-seven and a half years of marriage to be without your soulmate, you know, it's
02:40
very, very tough times.
02:41
The birthday celebration, which began at the Fox Theater in September and ends in Plains
02:46
October 1st, brought Carter's large extended family together, including his great-grandson,
02:52
Charlie Carter.
02:53
You'll probably never be to a bigger birthday party, right?
02:57
No.
02:58
Maybe it's 101.
03:02
Carter also holds the record for the longest post-presidential career.
03:06
Since departing the White House in 1981, he and his wife founded the Atlanta-based global
03:11
nonprofit Carter Center, which fights neglected tropical diseases, promotes peaceful conflict
03:16
resolution, and monitors elections around the world.
03:20
Causes which led him to be awarded the 2002 Nobel Peace Prize.
