Possible source

I was able to find this 1998 journal article [1] from the Atlantis, which is a gender studies journal that has been published since 1975. From what I can see, the journal looks like it would be a fairly reliable source [2]. There's a few paragraphs about The Clarion on page 23. Clovermoss (talk) 21:21, 27 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I've incorporated it as a ref and added a few details from it. Mind matrix 20:42, 9 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Mindmatrix: Thank you for expanding the article. I saw The Clarion mentioned in the Carrie Best article and even though I wanted to do something about the redlink, I felt stuck. I'm glad that the ref could be of use, at least. Clovermoss (talk) 02:19, 23 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Article history

... that while seeking funding for The Clarion, Carrie Best was told by a donor "You are just a small voice crying in the wilderness — but keep on crying"? Source: "She had come to Halifax, “a young woman with a dream” to recruit advertisers. One of her first stops was a Mr. Manuel Zive, a Jewish merchant.

“I told him that I wanted to have something to say about racial understanding, because things were not good. He said to me, ‘You are just a small voice crying in the wilderness — but keep on crying.’”

He went back into his office and wrote her a cheque." - Years before Viola Desmond made Canadian history, Carrie Best took her own stand at that very same Nova Scotia theatre

5x expanded by Mindmatrix (talk). Self-nominated at 19:59, 8 January 2022 (UTC).[reply]

5x expansion within deadline verified (the article itself is pretty new, but not quite new enough). Thoroughly sourced, including the hook, which is interesting enough and short enough; hook source verified. Earwig wasn't working very well for me when I checked, but in any case didn't find any problematic copying. QPQ done. Good to go. —David Eppstein (talk) 02:55, 10 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
