Carter also became known for his hands-on approach to humanitarian service, often personally engaging in building homes with Habitat for Humanity. This commitment reinforced his image as a leader whose sense of responsibility did not end with political office. In later years, Carter’s legacy has been reassessed with greater appreciation.
