Today is a Day of Mourning in the United States as a mark of respect for James Earl Carter, Jr., the thirty-ninth President of the United States. Carter, the 39th President of the United States and a tireless advocate for peace, human rights, and public service, passed away at the age of 100 on December 29th 2024.
Carter, whose presidency from 1977 to 1981 was marked by both significant achievements and formidable challenges, will be remembered as much for his post-presidential humanitarian efforts as for his time in the Oval Office.
Most Federal agencies will be closed. The New York Stock Exchange and Nasdaq will close on Jan. 9th in honor of Carter’s passing.

Today is the birthday, in 1941, of American folk singer, songwriter, musician, and activist Joan Baez. She scored the 1971 US No.3 & UK No.6 single ‘The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down’ and was one of the first major artists to record the songs of Bob Dylan in the early 1960s. Baez also performed three songs at the 1969 Woodstock Festival. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OYeXvG2ptwk
