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.
