Former U.S. President Jimmy Carter’s motorcade departed the U.S. Capitol early Wednesday, drawing crowds as it advanced toward Washington National Cathedral for a state funeral. The solemn procession, a final tribute to the 99-year-old Nobel Peace Prize laureate, has captured global attention. 🌍
President Joe Biden is expected to deliver the eulogy at the ceremony, which begins at 10 a.m. local time. The event marks a rare moment of bipartisan unity, honoring Carter’s legacy as a champion of diplomacy and humanitarian causes. 👏 His post-presidency work with Habitat for Humanity and global health initiatives remains a blueprint for public service.
The National Cathedral, a symbol of national unity, will host dignitaries, global leaders, and everyday citizens paying respects. Carter, the longest-living U.S. president, shaped policies from energy conservation to Middle East peace during his term (1977–1981). His humility and post-White House activism earned him the nickname ‘America’s Grandpa.’ 🕊️
As the motorcade weaves through D.C., social media buzzes with tributes, blending nostalgia and admiration for a leader who redefined civic engagement. Stay tuned for updates on this historic day. ✨
