Papers, Part one, 1898-1970.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/46635865

Papers of a journalist, best-selling author, and civil libertarian. Consists chiefly of material generated as editor (1944-68) of the Charlotte-based Carolina Israelite but also documenting his involvement in the Democratic Party, the civil rights movement, and Jewish issues. Includes extensive correspondence files, manuscripts and research materials for books and articles, speeches, financial records, publications, photographs, and material by and about Carl Sandburg and his family. The collection's emphasis is on Golden as editor and publisher of the Charlotte-based Carolina Israelite (1942-68), a bi-monthly newspaper that liberally addressed political issues, Jewish and minority concerns, and the daily lives of the common individual. The collection also reflects his career as best-selling author, beginning with Only in America in 1958, and as spokesperson for civil rights and individual social liberty.
