Wasn't there a black man in the Lewis & Clark expedition? Why isn't there a statue of him too?

When Lewis and Clark met Sacajawea, she was the enslaved wife or concubine of a Frenchman. During the course of their trip to the Pacific Ocean, she encountered her own family.

Charbonneau was Sacajawea’s husband. I believe he was a black French Canadian.
