This Black History Month, we're proud to honor the contributions and legacies of Black leaders who have impacted our world. One such leader is Clark Brewer, whose commitment to equity and access to the great outdoors inspires us all.
Today, significant strides have been made to continue the work started by figures such as Solomon Brown, but some of the effects of the laws years ago have lingered. As we reflect on the past, we also look to the future with hope and gratitude for the change-makers among us.
Clark Brewer has made it his purpose to mitigate those effects for people of color here in Chattanooga. In 2017, Clark co-founded Bridge Chattanooga, an after-school program focused on taking kids of color on outdoor adventures such as hiking, canoeing, and caving. This eventually led him to launch his own non-profit, Huemans Outdoors , where he hopes to expand this outreach through guided excursions for youth and adults alike.

Thank you, Clark, for all that you do!
