Jimmy Carter Honored with Dayton Literary Peace Prize's Holbrooke Award

The former president, soon to turn 100, is recognized for his lifetime contributions to literature and peace.

Jimmy Carter, nearing his 100th birthday, has been awarded the Ambassador Richard C. Holbrooke Distinguished Achievement Award.
The Dayton Literary Peace Prize Foundation waived its in-person acceptance rule for the first time to honor Carter.
Carter, who is in hospice care, will have his grandson, Jason Carter, accept the award on his behalf in November.
The award celebrates Carter's extensive literary work and his lifelong dedication to fostering peace and social justice.
Other winners include Paul Lynch for fiction with 'Prophet Song' and Victor Luckerson for nonfiction with 'Built from the Fire.'
