After earning a journalism degree in 1943, Carter founded The Tabor City Tribune and used its pages to campaign against the Klu Klux Klan. His writing resulted in more than 100 convictions of Klansmen and earned him the 1953 Pulitzer Prize for meritorious public service — the first Tar Heel to do so.
