Far less is known about his brother, Ivan Caldwell Cannady, who was born October 7, 1915. He was named after his godfather, Ivan Harold Browning, a tenor who sang with the Harmony Kings, recorded with Eubie Blake,
and performed on Broadway in Shuffle Along. 302
Ivan graduated from Fernwood Grammar School in June 1928the same school that made news when his brother was denied admission to a graduation party at a skating rink.303 Four years later, Ivan was one of 329
students to graduate from Grant High School.304 He and some friends were entertained at an informal party at home, where dancing and games were the diversions.305
Most articles in the Advocate were about Ivan accompanying his mother and brother on excursions: to Tacoma, Washington, so Cannady could address the Washington State Federation of Colored Womens Clubs; to
Salem, where his mother met with Governor Walter M. Pierce about a very important matter.306 But on one occasion, mother and son enjoyed a special evening together at the Municipal Auditorium, where Jascha
Heifetz charmed a capacity house with a delightful program played on his new Guernerius violin.307
Like his brother, Ivan did some public speaking. When he was twelve, he accompanied Dr. Elbert Booker to First Christian Church. Booker discussed the race question and Ivan exhibited large photographs of twelve
internationally known Negroes and gave a brief biography of each.308
Ivan went to the YMCA Camp on his own once George had outgrown it.309 Advocate notices rarely elaborated on his summer experiences, but in 1931 it was reported that Ivan had been elected the camps lieutenant governor.310
He planned to attend Willamette University, but returned to Portland when he could not register for the journalism and commercial art courses he was interested in.311 Instead, he wrote a few articles for the Advocate,
including a profile of Lee Roy Kinard, the new pastor of First AME Zion Church.312
Ivan apparently returned to Willamette for his bachelors degree, and earned a law degree from Lincoln University in Oakland, California. He served in the U.S. Marine Corps from 1943 to 1946, and then settled in Los
Angeles, where he established a successful real estate career. He belonged to the Urban League and NAACP, and served on the Board of Directors of the California Association of Real Estate Brokers.313
In 1982, Ivan returned to Portland to attend a dinner honoring twentyone womenincluding his motherwho had been selected for inclusion in the booklet, Notable Women in the History of Oregon. 314 Cannady continued to generate publicity, even after her death in 1974: the event was covered in the Los Angeles Sentinel as well as the Oregonian.
