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.
