Search box is upper right corner. You can also search more precisely for cleveland+evans (note the "+").
The following link should also work, at least as of now:

I found the column thanks to your link. If I type "cleveland+evans", all I get is a lot of sports.
Interesting what Coretta King wrote:
"Coretta King said she "fell victim" to the custom of choosing an unusual name for her daughter when Yolanda was born"
Better than to "fall victim" to the custom of choosing a very common name imo. But I think uncommon (or at least formerly uncommon) names are more used nowadays.
And thanks to Yolanda King, lots of women are now named Yolanda. If she named her Mary or Elizabeth, people would not have discovered Yolanda, a beautiful name.
