Sequoia Black History – California’s Gold (6002)

Huell joins the centennial celebration of Colonel Charles Young’s tenure as superintendent at Sequoia National Park. Young led his “Buffalo Soldiers” during a historic summer working in the second national park ever created in the United States. Young discovered and named a majestic Giant Sequoia after an individual that inspired and influenced his life, Booker T. Washington. After nearly 100 years, this tree has been
rediscovered and stands as a monument to both Colonel Charles Young and Booker T. Washington.
