Live Updates: Jimmy Carter Is Remembered for His Integrity and Humanitarianism

Former President Jimmy Carter was remembered on Thursday as a humanitarian who protected the vulnerable, fought for peace and put service to others above his own ambitions during a state funeral in Washington, where the country’s five living presidents gathered to bid farewell to one of their own.

President Biden hailed the 39th president for his character and faith. “Throughout his life, he showed us what it means to be practitioner of good works, and a good and faithful servant of God and the people,” Mr. Biden said. “Today, many think he was from a bygone era. But in reality, he saw well into the future.”
