Carter died December 29, 2024 at the age of 100, and while opinions vary as to how successful his one term in the White House was, there’s a widespread consensus that no president in American history enjoyed a more productive or successful post-presidency.

And recently NC Newsline got a chance to discuss some of that work with someone who knows it intimately – the co-leader of the Carter Center’s Strengthening Democracy Project in North Carolina, former Charlotte mayor Jennifer Roberts.
