Hidden History of Portland, Oregon

In this engaging narrative, author JD Chandler
crafts a people’s history of Portland, Oregon, sharing the lesser-known stories
of individuals who stood against the tide and fought for liberty and
representation: C.E.S. Wood, who documented the conflict between Native
Americans and the United States Army; Beatrice Morrow Cannady, founding member
of the Portland NAACP and first African American woman to practice law in
Oregon; women’s rights advocate Dr. Marie Equi, who performed abortions and was
an open lesbian; and student athlete Jack Yoshihara, who, in the wake of Pearl
Harbor, was barred from participating in the 1942 Rose Bowl. From scandal and
oppression to injustice and the brink of revolution, join Chandler as he gives
voice to the Rose City’s quiet radicals and outspoken activists.
