Former President Jimmy Carter had a black eye and 14 stitches after falling Sunday at his Georgia home, but made it to an evening concert in Tennessee to rally volunteers ahead of his 36th home building project for Habitat for Humanity. The 39th president fell earlier in the day at his home in Plains, Georgia, and required the stitches above his brow. Carter wore an Atlanta Braves baseball cap, but his left eye was swollen and bruised and he had a white bandage above his eye. Former President Carter then joked, "While Garth just watched her," drawing laughs from the crowd and from Yearwood. "I just want to keep the whole world at peace," Carter had said as he presented his annual Carter Center report last month.
