The Rev. Tony Lowden, the first Black pastor to lead Maranatha Baptist Church, says Carter always challenged his neighbors “to do something for somebody else.” He then reminded everyone of the four questions that Carter always asked him: “Where have you been? What have you done? Who have you helped? And how can I help you?”
