  On this 100th anniversary Black History Month tour, I want to whisk us all away to experience the legacy of two African American giants among the Giant Sequoias of Sequoia National Park in California. We will get a glimpse of the incredibly brilliant Brigadier Charles Young, and his deep humility that led to a giant sequoia being named in honor of Booker T. Washington in the Giant Grove, 1903.
