The Clarion (Canadian newspaper)
- ... 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).
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)
