Beatrice Morrow Cannady: Pioneer African American civil rights advocate in Oregon

Dr. Mangun’s research about Cannady was used as the basis for a half-hour documentary that aired on Oregon Public Broadcasting’s “Oregon Experience” series. She was interviewed on camera, wrote the text for the companion Web site, and served as consultant to the producer for seven months.

The documentary, which was nominated for a Northwest Regional Emmy by the Northwest Chapter of the National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences, has aired numerous times since its premiere on May 14, 2007. It is available on DVD.
