History
The paper was founded in 1967 by Dr. John Kilimanjaro, a professor at North Carolina A&T State University.[5] Kilimanjaro served as the president and publisher of the Carolina Peacemaker until his death in 2019.[6][7]
The paper endorsed Democratic candidate Tom Gilmore in the 1984 North Carolina Democratic gubernatorial primary.[8]
An editorial criticizing the film The Color Purple for its portrayal of a same-sex relationship between two women appeared in the paper in 1986.[9] The Carolina Peacemaker published a rebuttal to the editorial soon after.[9]
