The Editor and The Dragon: Horace Carter Fights the Klan

Taglines

Overview

In 1953, Horace Carter earned a Pulitzer Prize for Meritorious Public Service for his reporting on the Ku Klux Klan. Carter persevered in the face of death threats, including those against his family, and used the editorial authority of North Carolina's TABOR CITY TRIBUNE to protest the Klan's racist rhetoric and vigilantism. Carter's bold reporting and the unwavering integrity of his editorials helped lead to the first federal intervention in the south during that era and to the arrest and conviction of nearly 100 klansmen.

Overview

In 1953 verdiende Horace Carter een Pulitzer Prize for Meritorious Public Service voor zijn verslaggeving over de Ku Klux Klan. Carter volhardde ondanks doodsbedreigingen, waaronder die tegen zijn familie, en gebruikte de redactionele autoriteit van de TABOR CITY TRIBUNE in North Carolina om te protesteren tegen de racistische retoriek en burgerwacht van de Klan. Carter's gedurfde verslaggeving en de niet-aflatende integriteit van zijn hoofdartikelen hielpen leiden tot de eerste federale interventie in het zuiden in die tijd en tot de arrestatie en veroordeling van bijna 100 klansmen.
