<p>Here&rsquo;s a preview from a new podcast, Charlie&rsquo;s Place. How did a Black man in 1940s Jim Crow South open a club where Black and white people danced together? Charlie&rsquo;s Place was revolutionary, and that meant it was dangerous. Host Rhym Guiss&eacute; explores the unbelievable true story of Charlie Fitzgerald, a mysterious Black businessman whose nightclub became an unlikely site of integration in 1940s Myrtle Beach. Charlie broke down racial barriers through the power of music and dance, hosting some of the greatest musicians of our time: Little Richard, Count Basie, Ray Charles, Duke Ellington, and many more. But who was Charlie? How did he rise to power? And what price did he pay for achieving the impossible&mdash;an integrated club in the Jim Crow South? This is a story of joy and passion that erupted into violence and changed a community forever. Listen to Charlie&rsquo;s Place wherever you get your podcasts.
