Jimmy Carter’s funeral begins by tracing 100 years from rural Georgia to the world stage

Quick Summary:

ATLANTA—Jimmy Carter s extended public farewell began Saturday in Georgia, with the 39th US president’s flag-draped casket tracing his long arc from the Depression-era South and family farming business to the pinnacle of American political power and decades as a global humanitarian.

Willie Browner, 75, described Carter as hailing from a bygone era of American politics.“This man, he thought of more than just himself,” said Browner, who grew up in the town of Parrott, about 15 miles (24 kilometers) from Plains.

Chip Carter recalled “the boss” he had to make an appointment to see in the Oval Office, but also the father who spent an entire Christmas break learning Latin and teaching his 8th-grade son who had failed a test.
