AB  - 50 news clippings from an "independent paper devoted to the interests of the people" that were found searching newspaper archives for Bahá'í keywords.
N1  - The Advocate was privately owned by Mr. and Mrs. E.D. Cannady and incorporated many articles on the Bahá'í Faith and listed many early Baha'is; a bit of history for the Portland community. Beatrice Morrow Cannady was a leading African-American civil rights activist in Portland during the early part of the 20th century. As a newspaper publisher and lawyer, she challenged racial prejudice and discrimination at a time when the Ku Klux Klan was rising to power.  See more at bahaipedia.org and pbs.org/video/oregon-experience-beatrice-morrow-cannady. [E. Jones, 2024]  The project of finding these old clippings depends on the status of OCR based searches, which are never 100% — there are always going to be more present than found, and results will also vary over time as OCR re-processing is often redone on collections as methodologies improve. [-S.K., 2023]   See all text below collated in this Microsoft Word document (proofread by E. Jones, 2023). See also 50,000 clippings from newspapers.com.
