“It’s been awe-inspiring to watch my grandfather live out his values for all these decades,” he told PEOPLE. “My earliest memories are from his years in the White House, and I’ve grown up witnessing and learning from his faith and his belief in equal treatment and respect for all people.”
Into their golden years, Jimmy and Rosalynn continued to speak out on important issues while their foundation’s team of about 3,000 employees worldwide worked on the ground.
