Jimmy Carter, the longest-lived U.S. president, is about to celebrate his 100th birthday. Born in Plains, Georgia in 1924, Carter has witnessed significant changes in the world and the nation over the course of his life.
From the population boom to changes in media and politics, Carter has experienced it all. He has remained rooted in Plains, a small town that has seen minimal growth compared to the rest of the country.
As he reaches this milestone, let’s take a look back at some notable moments in Carter’s life and the world around him.
One of the interesting aspects of Carter’s life is his love for the Atlanta Braves, the baseball team he has supported for years. He has been a dedicated fan even during their best years in the 1990s.
Carter has also seen changes in politics, from immigration policies to shifts in global trade. The world has evolved significantly during his lifetime, and he has been a witness to it all.
