Remembering Jimmy Carter

Thursday, January 9 is a national day of mourning in the United States in honor of former President Jimmy Carter, who died on December 29 at 100 years old. After his lying in state at the Capitol, a funeral for the 39th president will be held today at Washington National Cathedral. The federal government will be closed today, as will other institutions, including the New York Stock Exchange. Our photo shows the Capitol dome on December 30, 2024, with flags flying at half-staff in honor of the longest-lived US president.
