It marks the beginning of three days of memorial services for the former first lady, who passed away last week aged 96.
A motorcade carrying her coffin left Plains, Georgia, her hometown. Traveling first to Phoebe Sumter Medical Center in Americus, then to her alma mater, Georgia Southwestern State University. It then continues to the Jimmy Carter Presidential Library in Atlanta.
A tribute service is also planned to be held at Glenn Memorial United Methodist Church at Emory University. President Joe Biden, First Lady Jill Biden, Vice President Kamala Harris, and Second Gentleman Doug Emhoff are all expected to attend.
It is not yet clear if Jimmy Carter will attend, as he’s currently in hospice care.
