Former President Jimmy Carter and his wife, Rosalynn Carter Mural | Facebook

Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport has introduced a new mural featuring former President Jimmy Carter and his wife, Rosalynn Carter. This latest addition pays tribute to their lifelong commitment to public service and humanitarian efforts. The Carters, both natives of Georgia, have significantly contributed to the state and the nation, influencing areas such as diplomacy, human rights, mental health, and housing.

The mural is part of the airport's broader mission to integrate art into the travel experience. It reflects the pride of Georgia in its native son and daughter and serves as an educational piece for travelers. "The tribute is more than just an art installation—it is a recognition of a lifetime dedicated to public service, humanitarian efforts, and advocacy for social justice." With these words, the mural honors the Carters' enduring legacy.

Former President Carter is noted for his work with The Carter Center, focusing on promoting democracy and human rights. His post-presidential efforts earned him the Nobel Peace Prize in 2002. Rosalynn Carter also played a crucial role in advocating for mental health awareness and policy changes benefiting millions.

Art in airports offers calming diversions and reduces passenger stress, making travel more enjoyable. It connects passengers with local culture and history, turning the airport into a space of learning. The Carter mural, in particular, embodies Georgia's values of leadership, service, and resilience.

Airlines like Delta Air Lines and United Airlines have also paid respect to the Carters, highlighting their significant contributions. The alignment between the airport, airlines, and the city of Atlanta underscores the Carters' valuable influence and the city's vibrant art scene, which includes street art and extensive collections at places like the High Museum of Art.

The Carters' mural at the airport epitomizes the integration of art into the travel environment, enhancing the cultural experience for millions of passengers annually.
