Searching for York (full documentary) | Oregon Experience
The Lewis & Clark Expedition was a pivotal moment in American history. But the story of York, a man enslaved to William Clark and comrade on this journey, has been obscured by omission and stereotype.

Watching after the " lady" defaced a statue of him. His story is inspiring. Why aren't we teaching children about him?

@@lynns4426 my parents are from Jim Crow south and I asked them if they knew anything about any massacres that occurred during their time and they said no. Not even word of mouth. Nobody ever said anything about it….not knowing what happened to our people will cause a false sense of security that will get a person hurt or killed….this has gone on way too long…we have to teach and become more informed about our people.

Me too its was a great learning experience
This is my relative ! Thank you so much for sharing this ❤️
My god as a Black American this shit is always magically overlooked.
It's sad how they just chose to erase an individual because they didn't want them to be significant!

The truth can only be hidden for so long
Excellent. Thank you for putting this together an sharing it. God bless.
Because he wanted to be with his wife... As any man should have. You decide to want bad for him??? Disgusting!
Thank you I really enjoyed learning about York great video
I recently took a trip to Fort Clatsop and Desperation Point in the PNW and York was barely mentioned at the museums. It led me to search for more info and I found this doc.
Very nice. I love the reinactment scenes.
Congratulations on this wonderful video discussion about York.
Great job !!
Thank you. Very well done.
Naming the river education center at Green Anchors after him.
Jidion brought me here
From what I’ve read York was never freed. He was sold away from his family but who really knows
When did York get time to master several dialects of Native American tongues, If all he was was a man servant/slave?
Natives helped slaves in the underground railroad. There were black chiefs believe it or not. slaves have integrated in gene pool descendents to come with natives, Italians, Irish, and a few polish because all were depicted as inferior to the forces to be

Lewis clark and York great explorers of America
Very good and thoroughly enjoyed .but now you should look at Stefan Milosevic s York !
I am a relative of William clark and I want to believe York was a frontiersman like all others York was a wonderful man I wish I could contact his ancestors and get to know there family history 😀

My family are said to be descendants of York and have been trying to locate descendants of William Clark
Sacagawea was also given "short shrift" in Lewis & Clark's journals as well as ignored by Congress when the "Corp of Discovery" finally returned back east.
My understanding is that he was a slave only in the America .... once they crossed over the Mississippi River, he was no longer a slave but a free man and was treated as such --- same with the 16 year old pregnant Native American woman who helped the expedition and even saved lives and journals; and the men even helped raised her son "Pomp"! It's actually a beautiful story of our roots and relationships between men/women/black/white/brown/children....
Not bad.

Ahh the biggest argument between Missouri and Oregon. Remember it started in Missouri it ended in Oregon. same with Lindbergh
Most of the other members are just as unknown as York - even though they are white.

Worst part .... Is that could happen ever
