Former President Jimmy Carter was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 2002 for his extensive efforts in promoting peace and human rights globally. The Norwegian Nobel Committee commended Carter for his tireless work in seeking peaceful resolutions to international conflicts, advancing democracy and human rights, and fostering economic and social development.
During a recent funeral service, Carter's grandson, Joshua Carter, revealed that the former president had shared the news of his Nobel Peace Prize win during one of his Sunday school classes at Maranatha Baptist Church in Plains, Georgia, his hometown.
