Giving respect to fellow Publishing Trailblazer Lenora "Doll" Carter, found dead on April 10th of an apparent heart attack:
Lenora "Doll" Carter was CEO, managing editor and publisher for the Houston Forward Times newspaper, the south's largest independently owned and published African-American newspaper. Forward Times was founded in January 1960 by her late husband, Julius Carter, at which time Mrs. Carter served as General Manager and Advertising Director. After Julius' death in 1971, Mrs. Carter became publisher and CEO of the company. She served as National Treasurer of board of directors for the National Newspaper Publishers Association, and was a former NNPA Publisher of the year. She won many awards and accolades for her contributions to the publishing industry.
R.I.P. Doll! Thanks for helping to pave the way!
