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)
