The Indianapolis Recorder published an Associated Negro Press article titled ""Arkansans Lynch and Burn Negro" on May 14, 1927. This article is one of the few clips in this map that both states the summary of facts about the lynching while also directly naming the other figures in the case, including Lonnie Dixon, the 16-year-old son who gave a forced confession to the murder of 11-year-old Floella McDonald. The piece also goes on to discuss the racial violence that proliferated after the hanging and mutilation of Carter's body, including the widespread destruction of the surrounding neighborhood where the lynching took place. This is particularly important because the location was the setting of the Black business district in Little Rock. By rioting throughout the neighborhood, the activities bear distinct similarities to the May 31-June 1,1921 Tulsa Race Massacre in the Greenwood neighborhood of Tulsa, Oklahoma. Both neighborhoods were home to Black businesses; the destruction of both showcases white dismissal of Black enterprise and success, as well as the continued effort to remain superior during the Jim Crow Era.
