Episode 253 - Frank X Walker, Poet

This week on the THINK HUMANITIES podcast, Bill Goodman talks to poet Frank X Walker about his newly expanded and rereleased book "Buffalo Dance: The Journey of York." Buffalo Dance tells the story of the infamous Lewis and Clark expedition from the point of view of York, who was enslaved to Clark and became the first African American man to traverse the continent. You will be able to find Walker's book and visit with him at the 2022 Kentucky Book Festival in Lexington. For more information, visit kybookfestival.org.
