They shared a warm correspondence and collaborated on behind-the-scenes efforts to free organizer Boyd E. Payton of the Textile Workers Union of America who was charged in an alleged plot to dynamite a power station and mill buildings during a 1958 strike by workers of the Harriet & Henderson Cotton Mills. Golden also arranged for Graham to preach at Belmont Abbey in Belmont, NC, in 1963, reportedly marking the first time that the Baptist minister had been invited to speak from the pulpit of a Roman Catholic institution.
