History
The paper was founded in 1967 by Dr. John Kilimanjaro, a professor at North Carolina A&T State University. Kilimanjaro served as the president and publisher of the Carolina Peacemaker until his death in 2019.

The paper endorsed Democratic candidate Tom Gilmore in the 1984 North Carolina Democratic gubernatorial primary.

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. The Carolina Peacemaker published a rebuttal to the editorial soon after.
