Habitat for Humanity began in 1984 when Carter led a work group to New York City to renovate a six-story building with 19 families in need of descent shelter. Each year, Jimmy and Rosalynn give a week of their time to build homes. "We have become small players in an exciting global effort to alleviate the curse of homelessness," Carter said (Carter and Habitat).

As president, Carter was deeply committed to social justice and human rights. He and his wife Rosalynn left the White House in search of meaningful ways to contribute in these areas. Ultimately, Carter focused his work toward charitable contributions, and non-profit work.

Jimmy Carter was born on October 1, 1924, in Plains, Georgia. Carter's father, a farmer and businessman, ran a farm products store on the family farm in the rural community of Archery, a

few miles west of Plains Georgia ("Jimmy Carter"). The Carters lived in Plains when Jimmy was born. Four years later, they moved to the farm in Archery. Jimmy grew up there and helped with the farm chores during his boyhood.

Carter attracted worldwide attention in 1977, when he strongly supported the struggle for human rights in the Soviet Union and other nations. He banned U.S. aid to some nations whose governments he believed to be violating human rights.

During that year, Carter won congressional approval of a national energy program. In 1977, Congress adopted the president's proposal to establish a new executive department, the Department of Energy. The energy legislation was designed largely to reduce U.S. oil imports. The legislation included tax penalties for owners of automobiles that used excessive amounts of gasoline.

Jimmy went to public school in Plains. His favorite subjects included history, literature, and music. As a teenager, he played on the high school basketball team. In 1941, following graduation from high school, Carter entered Georgia Southwestern College in Americus. In 1942, he was appointed to the United States Navel Academy.

At the Democratic convention in New York City in July 1976, Carter received the nomination on the first ballot. As his vice-presidential running mate, he chose Walter F. Mon
