President Carter departs Carter Center on final trip to Washington
Former president Jimmy Carter’s remains were carried to a hearse from Atlanta’s Carter Presidential Center in Atlanta to Dobbins Air Reserve Base before departing for Joint Base Andrews in Maryland. Carter’s funeral procession left Atlanta for Washington, D.C. as part of the next leg of a six-day journey that began in southwest Georgia and ends in Carter's hometown in Plains, Georgia where he will be buried. The Atlanta Journal-Constitution has reported extensively on Carter’s life and legacy since the Georgia peanut farmer-turned-president died Dec. 29 at the age of 100.
