Golden goes South
Brash newcomer
Golden was welcomed by business leaders in Charlotte's Jewish community, including I.D. Blumenthal, Arthur Goodman, Maurice Speizman, and Hermann Cohen. They encouraged Golden to launch an interfaith newspaper by 1941, then watched with mixed feelings as it grew into a quirky personal journal full of his irreverent wit and self-promotion. Golden often poked fun at the foibles and what he saw as hypocrisies of his fellow Jews, especially those in the South. The statement, “Harry Golden does not speak for me” was a frequent declaration by some members of the Charlotte Jewish community.This page has paths:
