Carolina Israelite: How Harry Golden Made Us Care about Jews, the South, and Civil Rights

Join us for a conversation with Kimberly Marlowe Hartnett, author of Carolina Israelite: How Harry Golden Made Us Care about Jews, the South, and Civil Rights. 
Golden (1903-1981) was a Jew, a writer, a humorist, and a fearless advocate for civil rights. He exposed racism and anti-Semitism in all guises, and he did so with wit and originality. Once he got his reader or listener to laugh—and it never took long—he got them to question the status quo.
