Jimmy Carter, a U.S. president who served only one term but was widely admired for his humanitarian work after leaving the White House, was remembered during his state funeral on Thursday as a man who put honesty and kindness above partisan politics.

James Earl “Jimmy” Carter Jr., the nation’s 39th president and the only Georgian to ever serve in the White House, has died at age 98.

Among those who spoke about the former president Thursday at Washington National Cathedral were relatives, former aides and the current president.

Former President Jimmy Carter's casket departed the U.S. Capitol Thursday morning en route to the Washington National Cathedral, where he is being honored with the pageantry of a state funeral. These actors never use their real accent.
