Size Guide

Hidden History of Portland, Oregon uncovers the untold stories of the city's quiet radicals and outspoken activists. JD Chandler presents a people's history, highlighting individuals who challenged oppression and fought for justice—C.E.S. Wood, who documented Native American struggles; Beatrice Morrow Cannady, a civil rights leader and founding member of Portland’s NAACP; Dr. Marie Equi, a bold advocate for women's rights; and Jack Yoshihara, a student athlete denied his chance at the 1942 Rose Bowl due to wartime prejudice. From political scandal to social revolution, this book shines a light on Portland’s lesser-known past and those who shaped it.
