History
The memorial was dedicated on December 11, 1988, and features 7-foot (2.1 m) bronze sculptures of Clark, York, who was Clark's slave, and an unnamed Native American on a 4-foot (1.2 m) cement and stone base.[1][2][3]
In 2020, during the anti-racism protests in the weeks after the police murder of George Floyd, the statue of York was removed.[4]
