York of the Lewis and Clark Expedition In-Person
York was an enslaved man who took part in the Lewis and Clark Expedition from 1803-1806. But what is known about York besides his participation in this journey? Oregon Black Pioneers will present a detailed biography of York, which reveals his experiences during the Expedition, his life before and after, and his place within national African American history.
Oregon Black Pioneers is Oregon’s only historical society dedicated to preserving and presenting the experiences of African Americans statewide. For more than 30 years, they have illuminated the seldom-told stories of people of African descent in Oregon through engaging exhibits, public programs, publications, and historical research.
