Political and civic leaders across Colorado reacted with sorrow and gratitude on Sunday following the news that former President Jimmy Carter passed away at the age of 100.
After serving as the nation’s 39th president from 1977 to 1981, Carter remained actively committed to human rights and other causes, founding the Carter Presidential Center at Emory University in Atlanta, and working extensively with Habitat for Humanity well into his 90s.
