The year 1989 was the year that Dedman was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for Investigative Reporting in 1989 for The Color of Money, his series of essays published in 1988 published in The Journal of the Atlanta Constitution by Bill Kovach. The Atlanta Journal-Constitution on racial discrimination of banks as well as other lenders to mortgages in black neighborhoods with middle-income. The first article included in The Color of Money, which was published from May 4 to May 4 in 1988, revealed that Atlanta’s banks , savings and loan companies, even though they had been lending for many years in the most deprived white neighborhoods in Atlanta they did not lend in more affluent or middle-class black communities. The spotlight was turned to lenders across the United States in January 1989, when the article, “Blacks turned down for home loans from S&Ls twice as often as whites.”

Dedman was a reporter for the Knoxville News Sentinel, The Atlanta Journal- Constitution, The Washington Post, and The Boston Globe.
