Former President Jimmy Carter died Sunday at the age of 100, according to a statement from The Carter Center.

Carter served as the 39th President of the United States from 1977-1981, winning a close election against then-incumbent President Gerald Ford in 1976.

He is the longest-lived American president in history, the first to reach the age of 100.

He is also the most recent Democrat to win the state of Mississippi in a presidential election.

Carter’s post presidency was marked by humanitarian work, especially through his foundation The Carter Center and other organizations like Habitat for Humanity.
