This week's Live with Lewis was broadcast from Louisville, Kentucky, site of the Falls of the Ohio National Bicentennial Signature Event. Over the course of the last week, the Discovery Expedition crew traveled another 60 miles along the Ohio River from Carrollton, Kentucky to Louisville. Learn about events of the original expedition in the same locations two hundred years ago, as well as the people and places along this part of the trail today. The special focus of this broadcast is the new statue dedicated in Louisville to York, William Clark's African-American slave who traveled the entire course of the expedition. Hear Ed Hamilton, sculptor of York and Forest Boone, sculptor of the statue's rock pedestal, as they discuss the ideas behind the sculpture and describe the process of creating it.
