(CNN) Jimmy Carter, the son of a peanut farmer who served as America's 39th president, turns 95 today.

The organization was founded in 1982 by President Carter and his wife, Rosalynn, and is "committed to advancing human rights and alleviating unnecessary human suffering," according to the Center's website
