York Urban Village

Welcome to your site! This is your homepage, which is what most visitors will see when they come to your site for the first time.

York, an American enslaved African, the manservant of William Clark, and a member of the Lewis and Clark Corps of Discovery, became the first documented person of African descent to visit present-day Portland, Oregon. He was known as “Big Medicine” by some regional tribes. American history erased these truths dating back to 1803.
