Early cave exploration and mapping—after the removal of Indigenous Cherokee, Shawnee and Chickasaw nations and tribes—is typically traced back to the the late 1880s. However, Kick Ass Black Kentuckian, Stephen Bishop, was spelunking in Mammoth Cave as early as 1838 and can therefore be called one of the FIRST American cavers. Using a cedar sapling as a beam, Bishop was the FIRST caver to cross a huge pit (called The Bottomless Pit) that no one dared to pass over, thereby discovering the massive connectivity of the longest cave system in the world. In just one year, he had doubled the known map of Mammoth Cave. Not only did he discover, explore, and name areas and 'rooms', he mapped them from memory, meticulously illustrating 10 miles of connected systems, half of which he had discovered on his own. And you know those blind fish and silent crickets on the tour? Bishop was the FIRST caver to discover those too. Enslaved for all but the last year of his life, the fact that Bishop was widely credited for his work at the time is remarkable.

The 115th will be here before you know it! Are you ALL IN?

Join us today at 1 p.m. ET for a virtual press conference to hear more about what's to come. And don't forget to register! 👉🏾 https://naacp.org/convention
