Love this new mural of President and Mrs. Carter at Atlanta’s airport. "Well Done Good and Faithful Servant, The Carters,” was painted by Fabian Williams, who created the poster for President Carter’s 100th birthday concert. Look for it above north baggage claim!

The reality is more complicated.
While the program itself isn’t “paused,” the essential support services that make it work are.
