York was a key member of the Lewis and Clark expedition and the enslaved Black servant to William Clark. A good portion of his life was spent at the childhood home of Clark, now known as George Rogers Clark Park. We will gather at the Lodge of the park to pay tribute to this American explorer. This free program will feature tours, talks, singing, and poetry readings with special guests; sculptor Ed Hamilton, poet Frank X Walker, Louisville Juneteenth Jubilee Commission member Dr. John Chenault, the Filson’s Jim Holmberg, Sankofa singers, and more.
