Alexander G. Clark, arguably the most influential black man to ever lived in the state of Iowa in the 19th century. Some historians believe that he was probably the second most influential black man after Frederick Douglass that no one knows about.

Alexander Clark was born in 1826, in Washington County, Pennsylvania, to John Clark a former slave, and Rebecca Darnes Clark. At age 14 Alexander Clark moved from Pennsylvania to go live with his uncle George Darnes in Cincinnati Ohio, where a young Alexander learned barbering skills. In 1842 at age of 16, he left Cincinnati and moved to Muscatine Iowa, where he opened a barbershop and became a prominent barber in Muscatine. Alexander called Muscatine a home for over 40yrs.

In this episode, I sat down with one of the men who studied Alexander G. Clark, Muscatine's Own, Daniel G. Clark to discuss the life, contributions, and accomplishments of Alexander G. Clark to the state of Iowa.
