By Jacque Day, KPR

In January Kentucky reopened the historic dining room at Cherokee State Resort. The park opened in Aurora in 1951, the only state park in Kentucky built exclusively for African-Americans.

To commemorate Black History Month, she brings us his personal story in the form of an audio postcard.
