Ely Parker: Living in Two Worlds

Born in Genesee County, Ely Samuel Parker is one of most famous citizens.

He is a man that met Presidents of the United States and even called some of them friend.

He is a man that excelled in two worlds: One the old ways of the Native American and the other of the rapidly advancing white society.

The medal pictured is a Masonic medallion given to him by U.S. Grant.

Listen to his story here.
