My estimate is 500+ participants on a very cold, windy day. This will keep getting stronger.

I join the nation in mourning the loss of President Jimmy Carter. His lifelong dedication to public service, from the U.S. Navy to the White House to Habitat for Humanity to the Carter Center, was the outward manifestation of his kind, committed and honorable soul.

So true.
Sad to see him go, and we’ll remember his legacy of what is best about our country.
Hope during my time we’ll get to see another president with such strength of character.

My husband, @clay50sub4.bsky.social, did NBA photography mostly in Washington and Philadelphia. He often saw interesting people sitting courtside. He was in DC for this same Hawks-Bullets game and took a photo of Jimmy Carter.
