During World War II, the cigar-smoking, bourbon-loving raconteur landed in Charlotte, North Carolina, and founded the \u003ci\u003eCarolina Israelite\u003c\/i\u003e newspaper, which was published into the 1960s. Golden's writings on race relations and equal rights attracted a huge popular readership. Golden used his celebrity to editorialize for civil rights as the momentous story unfolded. He charmed his way into friendships and lively correspondence with Carl Sandburg, Adlai Stevenson, Robert Kennedy, and Billy Graham, among other notable Americans, and he appeared on the \u003ci\u003eTonight Show\u003c\/i\u003e as well as other national television programs. Hartnett's spirited chronicle captures Golden's message of social inclusion for a new audience today. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 368\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.87 x 9.45 x 7.76 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIllustrated:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e August 01, 2018\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47603194364157,"sku":"9781469645643","price":37.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/3414\/0157\/files\/b3BoMDFEVWtmOVNJSlkzK0VFenZxUT09.webp?v=1780087884","url":"https:\/\/booktolia.com\/products\/carolina-israelite-how-harry-golden-made-us-care-about-jews-the-south-and-civil-rights-paperback","provider":"booktolia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
