Charbonneau's bio. He wasn't black.

True. I realize my error and repent in dust and ashes.😇. There was a black in the group; named York, Clark's personal servant. The historian on PBS made a big deal of it. Out on the left coast, with winter approaching, they took a vote whether to winter there or head back east. Sacajawea and York were both given an equal vote, although at that date and time, neither women nor blacks enjoyed suffrage back east, in the States. Pretty remarkable.
