Although Harry Golden was not a native Charlottean, it didn’t take him long to become an integral part of the life of the city when he arrived to write for the Charlotte Observer in the 1940s. He would go on to publish The Carolina Israelite, writing on topics important to him, speaking his mind and changing others. Now there is a book about his life and we find out from his biographer why his words still have importance.
