Top Headlines From The Carolinian and Triangle Tribune September 14–20, 2026
This week’s reporting from The Carolinian and Triangle Tribune examines decisions and community initiatives affecting Raleigh, Durham and Black residents throughout North Carolina.
Stories published September 14–20 cover voting rights, environmental justice, teacher recruitment, state contracting, consumer protection, domestic-violence scams and the promising starts of two Triangle HBCU football programs.
Top Stories From The Carolinian
Durham’s Black community finds restoration through the land
In a September 19 report, Carolinian contributor Judaea Ingram explored how Durham’s Soil Sanctuary uses gardening, food and community gatherings to help Black residents reconnect with the land.
The garden collective, stewarded by Black women and nonbinary people, hosted Black Restoration Day on September 13. The event welcomed Black, African, Caribbean and other diasporic communities for garden tours, movement activities, food and fellowship.
Ingram placed the program within a broader discussion of environmental justice, access to healthy food and the displacement pressures accompanying Durham’s growth. The story illustrates how community-owned green spaces can support cultural preservation, education and collective well-being.
Read “For Durham’s Black Community, Restoration Starts With the Land” in The Carolinian.
Appeals court considers North Carolina’s ballot-selfie banCarolinian staff writer Jordan Meadows reported September 19 that a federal appeals panel heard a Wake County resident’s challenge to North Carolina laws prohibiting photographs of completed ballots.
Susan Hogarth, a Raleigh native and former state Senate candidate, argues that posting a photograph of her marked ballot is constitutionally protected political expression. State election officials maintain that the restrictions protect ballot secrecy and help prevent coercion and vote-buying.
A federal district judge previously upheld the laws. The appeals court’s eventual ruling could affect what North Carolina voters may photograph and share during the 2026 election.

North Carolina eliminates a teacher-training entrance examA WUNC education report published by The Carolinian on September 18 examined the state’s decision to eliminate the Praxis Core requirement for students entering upper-level education courses.
Supporters of the change described the standardized exam as a barrier that forced some otherwise qualified students to leave teacher-preparation programs. Approximately 35 former students returned to UNC Greensboro’s School of Education following the policy change.
Students must still satisfy college GPA requirements and pass relevant subject-matter examinations before becoming fully licensed. Education leaders will monitor whether removing the entrance exam improves teacher recruitment and increases enrollment in preparation programs.

Minority-owned businesses seek new state contracting opportunitiesThe Carolinian published an NC Newsline report September 18 detailing the response to North Carolina’s elimination of the Office for Historically Underutilized Businesses.
Black and minority business owners gathered in Greensboro to urge state leaders to preserve access to government contracts. Their proposals included moving previously certified HUB companies into the Small Business Enterprise program and establishing an advisory council on Black affairs.
More than 6,000 companies were reportedly participating in the HUB program when the office closed. State officials announced that a new accelerator program would open October 15 to help affected businesses navigate the transition.
Read “Business Owners Press Leaders for New State Contracting Goals” in The Carolinian.
Top Stories From The Triangle Tribune
Durham and Raleigh businesses respond to the HUB office closureTriangle Tribune reporter Kylie Marsh provided additional local context about the end of North Carolina’s HUB office in a September 16 report.
Greater Durham Black Chamber of Commerce President and CEO CJ Broderick joined business owners and other advocates in calling for new avenues through which historically underutilized companies can compete.
The story also highlighted Durham-based CATE Services, which said it was removed from a minority-business partnership associated with the Raleigh Convention Center and Red Hat Amphitheater project after completing more than a year of work.
The coalition asked Gov. Josh Stein to establish an advisory council on Black affairs, transfer HUB-certified companies into the state’s Small Business Enterprise Program and create a 25% small-business participation goal.

North Carolina reaches settlement over allegedly predatory auto loansThe Triangle Tribune reported September 19 that North Carolina Attorney General Jeff Jackson and a bipartisan coalition reached a $694 million settlement with Credit Acceptance Corporation.
The lawsuit alleged that the auto-finance company targeted consumers with poor or limited credit using high-interest loans it knew many borrowers could not afford. The company was also accused of concealing the loans’ true cost and employing aggressive collection practices.
The settlement provides approximately $7.5 million in debt relief and nearly $2 million in restitution for North Carolina consumers. Eligible borrowers will be contacted by the company or a claims administrator.

Attorney general warns domestic-violence survivors about scamsIn a September 20 staff report, The Triangle Tribune shared a warning from Attorney General Jeff Jackson about scams targeting North Carolina domestic-violence victims.
According to the report, scammers impersonate law-enforcement officers or court officials and may contact victims soon after an arrest or court hearing. The scheme exploits a moment when survivors may already feel vulnerable or uncertain about the legal process.
The warning underscores the importance of independently verifying unexpected requests for money or sensitive information with the relevant court or law-enforcement agency.
Read The Triangle Tribune’s report on scams targeting domestic-violence victims.
NCCU and Shaw build early-season football momentumTriangle Tribune sports editor Bonitta Best reported September 16 that North Carolina Central University and Shaw University entered the week on two-game winning streaks.
NCCU running back Plez Lawrence earned conference recognition following a career performance against North Carolina A&T. The Eagles prepared to face Gardner-Webb before traveling to East Carolina.
Shaw’s Bears had produced consecutive comeback victories over Barton and Ferrum. Quarterback Alexander Marsh and kicker Benjamin Turner played pivotal roles in the overtime win against Ferrum, while the defense created turnovers when the Bears needed them most.
In a September 17 column, Best argued that Shaw’s improvement and favorable schedule could give the Raleigh HBCU an opportunity to compete for its first CIAA championship since 2010.

Why This Week’s Black Press Coverage Matters

PowerUp NC Invites Raleigh Residents to Envision a Greener Future
PowerUp NC invites Raleigh residents to Robert’s Park Community Center on Saturday, August 29, for a community conversation about sustainability, resilient neighborhoods and environmentally responsible development.
This summer’s extreme heat and rising electricity bills have made the need for action increasingly clear. The event will explore practical ways residents, community leaders and local programs can work together to create healthier neighborhoods where buildings and development support the environment instead of working against it.
Addressing High Utility Bills and Community Challenges
Attendees will have an opportunity to discuss the environmental and economic challenges affecting Raleigh households. The gathering is designed to give residents useful information while ensuring their experiences and ideas are included in the conversation.
Participants can expect to leave with:
- Actionable ideas for addressing extreme heat, energy costs and environmental concerns.
- Information about local programs offering free or low-cost home maintenance assistance.
- A better understanding of how sustainable development can strengthen Raleigh neighborhoods.
- Opportunities to connect with residents who care about sustainability and community resilience.
Free Food and Raffle Prizes
The event is open to residents who are passionate about sustainability, concerned about rising utility bills or simply interested in learning about available community resources.
Everyone who registers will receive free food and automatically be entered into a raffle for a chance to win prizes. Advance registration is encouraged, but residents who have not registered are still invited to participate.
What Is PowerUp NC?
PowerUp NC is a statewide movement working to build a stronger economy, healthier environment and more inclusive democracy across North Carolina.
The initiative addresses issues affecting everyday households, including affordable housing, high utility bills and access to healthy food. PowerUp NC also works to confront systemic injustices, increase community participation and promote sustainable solutions shaped by the people most affected.
Help Shape a More Sustainable Raleigh
Residents’ voices and lived experiences are essential to creating meaningful change. This community gathering offers an opportunity to learn, connect with neighbors and help envision a greener, healthier and more resilient future for Raleigh.
Join PowerUp NC at Robert’s Park Community Center and become part of the conversation.
