What I found was that Carmack was the leading journalistic opposition to Ida B. Wells' anti-lynching campaign. When she used her paper the "Memphis Free Speech" to criticize the lynching of three owners of a black grocery store, Carmack used his paper to demand retaliation against "the black wench." Wells, fortunately, was out of town at that moment and didn't return south for 30 years for fear of her life.
I found the quote, found what I posted regarding the author. I didn’t try to find every little piece of information about him. Whether what you found is true or not,I have no idea and I honestly don’t care. I wasn’t praising him. I was simply posting something I found that he had written but since he was a Democrat what you found would not surprise me in the least.
