it was enormously important for jimmy carter's political career to have rosalynn at his side and was visible in the white house and a fierce internal advocate for him and an external one as well. >> mrs. carter did not love the idea of coming back at least initially to plains. >> not at all. >> she enjoyed that life of being a spouse in the united states navy, traveling the world, the country with officer jimmy carter apartment carter's father passed, he wanted to return to the peanut warehouse and peanut business, the shelling business in plains. she came with him. when you talk to carter allies, like i spent time with 90-year-old, one of carter's key political advisers, he was there when he ran and lost race for governor against a segregationist in 1966. he came back encouraged by mrs. carter, encouraged by others to seek governor ship in 1970. he won that race and famously declared in january 1971 in his inaugural address the time for racial discrimination in georgia is over. this set off so much attention on carter across the country. reporters started traveling to plains and atla

jimmy carter and rosalynn carter part the community in this area, plains, georgia. for many decades living alongside, are not in a very large hole. i think i remember in an interview, it might have been the grandson ofjimmy carter, saying that the house ends up living in much of that later use of their life was valid at something like $125,000, $200,000, not a something like $125,000, $200,000, nota rich, lavish lifestyle that the characters lived, certainlyjimmy carter didn't grow up that way, and all the way through to his final days, that's exactly the way they lived, the same type of noodle and simple lifestyle. another glimpse of the boyhood farm ofjimmy carter, now a national park. we will be expecting that moment when the gathering there begins to honourjimmy carter, and we will make sure we will bring that moment when that bell rings 39 times, signifying he service 39th president of the us. amber, apologies for the interruption, but not to make sure that we that solemn moment there, but as you are saying, this is one of those areas where people. by, where not

i believe it's rosalynn carter rosalynn carter, who said to him, you've got to have that. you can't strip this office of all so, so smart. >> i mean, she was a better politician than he was in many ways. >> and the and the other thing is he he used to carry his suitcases when he would come off of air force. air force one, he stopped doing that. he recognized that many americans still wanted their president to be larger than life. and that was stripping it too close to the bone. so he was trying to find that balance. after richard nixon's imperial presidency and wasn't easy to do. >> we are, in these final moments, waiting, and obviously they're running a few moments behind. but that casket will be brought in to lie in state in the capitol, and the service will begin where we will hear from the vice president, the majority leader, the house speaker, kai. it obviously, if you had gone by hearse, this would have happened in just a few moments. part of the choice of a caisson. and carter would have, of course, been very aware of this was to give time, to have time to think, ti

of course, that these are musical selections and moments that were chosen by jimmy carter and rosalynn carterover these past 30 years, that they knew that this eventuality would come. and all the way back in 1986, began planning it. boris sanchez is on pennsylvania avenue. carter's funeral procession will pass by there, and there are many there gathered to to see this moment in history, this moment of pageantry and somber moment in american history. what are people telling you who have come out amidst the weather and the cold there in washington? >> yeah, erin, several hundred mourners gathered here on constitution avenue where that horse drawn caisson is set to emerge as part of the funeral procession in just moments. once it leaves the navy memorial. several of the folks that i've spoken to here have come from across the nation to pay their final respects to president carter, and one of them, rebecca lewis, actually came from pittsburgh. braving the elements to be here today. and i wonder, what is it that motivated you to be here in person, to say farewell to president carter? >> i just wan

and, and and the fact that just a year ago, it lost rosalynn carter. and now you have former president carter, who is now gone. can you talk about just this profound sense of loss that this tiny community is feeling today? >> well, when you think about plains, georgia, and we think about the carters, you think about love. and president carter has lived there for president carter was 100 years when he died. he lived there for all of his life. rosalynn carter lived there all of her life. so when she passed away last november, he passes away now. the town has been ready for this moment. they've been preparing for this moment because he's been such an indelible part of this community for so long that, you know, he's you know, he's mister jimmy. if you go to anyone's house, they have photographs of mister jimmy, they have stories about jimmy carter. so he is part of that community. he's part of that whole community, and he's truly loved there. >> and when we say tiny, i mean, what is it? >> it's 5 or 600 people. there's no stoplights, there's no grocery stor

rosalynn carter, his partner of 77 years. then they were then newlyweds. didn't want to go back to plains, but jimmy carter had seen the great mark that his father had made, the pillar of a community that both his mother and father were, and he wanted to return to plains to be that kind of figure in plains, to make that kind of difference, kind of an atticus finch of plains, georgia. and of course, he returned to plains again after leaving the presidency in 1981. it's almost as though the soil from that part of the country pulsated through jimmy. >> and there we see the crowds who have gathered, perhaps some locals, perhaps some in from out of town, coming to pay their final respects to the former president. for many, there may be their former neighbor as well. the motorcade will now turn west down route 80. it's going to drive through downtown plains, and it may seem funny to even refer to it as downtown plains because, as we were discussing, this is a very small town, about 600 people. it's about 150 miles south of atlanta. and this town, really, in and o

in instilling the legacy of not just your grandfather but your grandmother, former first lady, rosalynn carter? >> i think the carter center is this embodiment of the legacy. they took that time. they relied on people. i was an intern too. we share that in common. it is a place where they built on their belief and the way they lived out their faith and love of the world put together to tackle projects that other people weren't tackling. they ended up having programs all over the world. there are 3500 employees at the carter center, and only a couple hundred in atlanta and the rest are scattered throughout villages in the poorest part of the world changing xhupts the way that jimmy and rosalynn carter did. and that legacy that you are a part of as an intern and all of these other people, one of the great aspects of them is that it will continue long after their physical presence is gone. >> lastly, i was really floored by the expressions of admiration by some very, very conservative republicans after his death. i don't know what your response was. >> look, we have really been gratified both by

the also who knew rosalynn carter as well, and their work. and, wolf, what what really stood out to me was that if you listened to this, with the exception of one reference by chip carter, they didn't talk about a president. this was not the eulogy or memories about a man who served for them, the work he did. this was not about a man who was the commander in chief at jason carter, who's also the chair of the board of trustees of the carter center. most of his remarks were about the workers and the people who have worked on behalf of the priorities of the carters and worked at the carter center. his message was of gratitude for those who he said, are the real keepers of the carter's legacy. so this was not about memorializing or eulogizing a former president. this was about saying goodbye and thank you to a man and thanking those who, over the years, have supported his vision. >> and they certainly came through with the music, the words, and the entire moment was so powerful, so beautiful. in memory of this late president of the united states,
