Possible source edit
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)
- I've incorporated it as a ref and added a few details from it. Mindmatrix 20:42, 9 January 2022 (UTC)
- @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)

- ... 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)
