Ashland, The Henry Clay Estate is in the process of creating an African American History tour set to launch in the fall of 2019. While staff’s research has yielded stories of courage, resilience, and heartbreak, they hope to find more stories to add nuance to this narrative. This Saturday from 10 a.m. to noon, the public is invited for an information gathering event at the Lyric Theatre in downtown Lexington. Organizers are especially hoping to hear from people who may have been descended from African Americans enslaved or employed at the estate. WUKY s Alan Lytle talks with Ashland curator Eric Brooks and Cameron Walpole, manager of tours and education.
