Finding Beverley Morales’ thesis

I recently got the nicest email from Beverley Morales’ sister which reminded me to get back to work on telling Beverley’s story.

Beverley was an award-winning Florida women’s page editor in the 1960s. (She won a Penney-Missouri Award while she was at the Sun-Sentinel.) She also had a career in investigative reporting and was a successful grant writer.

Yesterday, I discovered her University of Wyoming master’s thesis: “Press coverage of Native American affairs focusing on four Montana and Wyoming newspapers.” I just ordered a copy of the thesis.

I am continuing to work on an article about Beverley and her colorful life. I am largely focusing on her editing of the Native American newspaper, A’Tome.
