President Joe Biden declared Thursday, Jan. 9, as a National Day of Mourning to honor former President Jimmy Carter. Here's what is open and closed.

I was just blown away that President Carter, one of the greatest human beings in the world, would call me and ask me to be his pastor,” said the Rev. Tony Lowden.

So, in July 1979, the nation was in a deep, Carter-induced funk. And Carter's reaction was to ... blame the nation. That was the theme of the "malaise" speech.

Perhaps Carter’s most revealing poem, “I Wanted to Share My Father’s World,” concerns the man who never got to see his namesake son’s achievements. He wrote that he despised Earl’s discipline, and swallowed hunger for “just a word of praise.”

A florist, a musician and a reverend are among the people working behind the scenes at Washington National Cathedral to prepare for Jimmy Carter’s service.

As Jimmy Carter's remains are scheduled to be transported to Washington, D.C. on Tuesday, here is what to know about this week's funeral schedule.

Vice President Harris, Congressional members, and guests gathered in the Capitol Rotunda on Tuesday as former president Carter's funeral proceedings continued.

The White House ordered public flags to be displayed at half-staff for a period of 30 days from Carter's day of death, who died Dec. 29. Flags are flown at half-mast on ships and at naval stations. On shore, flags are flown at half-staff, meaning the flagpole is attached to a building or stuck in the ground.

On Tuesday, Carter's body will be flown from Atlanta to Joint Base Andrews in Maryland, where his casket will be transferred with ceremony to a hearse. From there, a motorcade will proceed to the U.S. Navy Memorial, where his casket will then be transferred from a hearse to a horse-drawn caisson with ceremony.

Members of Congress, the Supreme Court and other dignitaries will gather at the U.S. Capitol on Tuesday for a lying-in-state ceremony for former President Jimmy Carter.

President Joe Biden declared Jan. 9 a National Day of Mourning for former President Jimmy Carter in an executive order. It is the same day that Carter’s official state funeral will be held.
