Event Type: Books/Literature Age Group(s): Older Adults, Adults Date: 1/22/2019 Start Time: 6:00 PM End Time: 7:00 PM Description: In the mid-twentieth century, Charlotte was home to at least three writers whose reflections on the city and its people won them local, regional, and even national recognition.
Library: Myers ParkLeGette Blythe was a sage from North Mecklenburg who saw history in every part of the modern city. Harry Golden was the “Carolina Israelite,” who wrote a little bit about a lot of things, but stopped to think more deeply when he wrote about Charlotte. Dorothy Knox earned her stripes as a reporter and then, as a columnist for the Charlotte News, mixed personal and local news in a way that endeared her to her readers. Come to hear how Charlotte has inspired these writers and decide whether the city they described is the one we know today.
