Thanks for your patience during our recent outage at scalar.usc.edu. While Scalar content is loading normally now, saving is still slow, and Scalar's 'additional metadata' features have been disabled, which may interfere with features like timelines and maps that depend on metadata. This also means that saving a page or media item will remove its additional metadata. If this occurs, you can use the 'All versions' link at the bottom of the page to restore the earlier version. We are continuing to troubleshoot, and will provide further updates as needed. Note that this only affects Scalar projects at scalar.usc.edu, and not those hosted elsewhere.
Harry Golden: Bestselling Author, Raconteur, and Advocate for Civil Rights with His Irreverent Newspaper was written by Kimberly Marlowe Hartnett. This mini biography is based upon research Hartnett completed for her book Carolina Israelite: How Harry Golden Made Us Care about Jews, the South, and Civil Rights (The University of North Carolina Press, 2015; 2018; Audible; Braille.)
The site features materials from the Harry Golden Papersand other collections at J. Murrey Atkins Library, The University of North Carolina at Charlotte. Members of the Special Collections and University Archives team at Atkins Library put it together. Curator of Rare Books and Manuscripts Dawn Schmitz was the editor and curator. Research support and digitization was provided by student intern Aiyana Jones under the guidance of Instruction Archivist Randi Beem.
The site was launched in 2024, the 80-year anniversary of the publication of the first issue of The Carolina Israelite.
