Interesting an unwise public art piece called Hancock Taylor cornerstone located in downtown Frankfort Kentucky. I originally thought this was a basketball statue and was gonna pay homage to one...

Hancock Taylor Cornerstone Centennial in Frankfort, KY, is a historical marker that commemorates the life and contributions of York, the first African American to cross the United States from coast to coast. Born a slave in the late 18th century, York served as a valuable member of the Lewis and Clark Expedition, showcasing his skills and earning a unique level of respect and equality during this historic journey.
York's experiences on the expedition not only contributed significantly to the success of the Corps of Discovery but also marked a transformative period in his life, challenging the limitations of his status as a slave. His legacy is celebrated as an important part of American history, highlighting the profound impact he had on one of the nation's greatest explorations.

I was out exploring and I came across this and thought it was pretty neat. Decided to take a few pictures and Rita Barnett and edit for others to check out and see.
See a problem?
