Posted Jan 11, 2019
Hugh Morton, a Wilmington native who enrolled at the University of North Carolina in 1940, was a photographer for the Daily Tar Heel and Yackety Yack before he left Chapel Hill to serve as a newsreel photographer in World War II. When he returned from the war, Morton began taking photographs of UNC’s sports teams, and he didn’t stop for more than six decades.
