He Belongs to the Ages - President Jimmy Carter

Album Description

James Earl Carter, b. October 1, 1924, d. December 29, 2024, served as the 39th President of the US, the 76th Governor of Georgia, and in the US Senate (D, GA). He was a veteran of the US Navy, having served in the submarine service.

His Presidency was considered one of the most lackluster in history. But among his success were: pardoning Vietnam War draft dodgers, creating the US Departments of Education, and Energy, and installing solar panels on the White House.

Front Page of Americus times-recorder (Americus, Ga.), October 1, 1924 - Jimmy Carter's Birthdate

Teaching Notes

(Cross posted from Just One Day Album)

In honor of Jimmy Carter - here is the local paper that his father may have been reading while waiting to hear of his son’s birth. The Americus Times-Recorder was the newspaper centered in the county seat of Sumter County. Jimmy Carter led a fascinating life that is worth learning more about. If you are interested in digging into who he was there are endless resources at The Carter Center, as well as the Library of Congress. This was the state of the world that welcomed James Earl Carter, Jr. to the world on October 1, 1924.
