Members of Congress, Supreme Court justices and other dignitaries gathered at the U.S. Capitol Tuesday for a lying-in-state ceremony for former President Jimmy Carter. Vice President Kamala Harris delivered a eulogy.
Vice President Kamala Harris: “He was a president who, between the years of 1977 and 1981, appointed more Black Americans to the federal bench than all of his predecessors combined and appointed five times as many women.”
Carter will be buried following a state funeral at Washington National Cathedral on Thursday and a private funeral at home in Georgia.
