President Jimmy Carter's work with Habitat for Humanity speaks volumes and will continue to do so for years to come.

Jimmy Carter, the late U.S. president who served only one term in office and 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.

At a pomp-filled state funeral, mourners paid tribute to Mr. Carter and argued that he was a more successful leader than many remember. “It’s time to redeem his presidency,” a former aide said.

Jason Carter, late President Jimmy Carter's grandson, reminisced about Carter's political and social life which encapsulated decades of hard work.
