Clay is a humanities scholar, Rhodes Scholar, author and social commentator who is considered one of the most entertaining and articulate public speakers in the country.

Clay received the National Endowment for the Humanities’ highest award from President George H Bush. He was the first public humanities scholar to present a program at a White House sponsored event when he presented Thomas Jefferson for a gathering hosted by President and Mrs. Clinton. When award-winning humanities documentary producer Ken Burns turned his attention to Thomas Jefferson, he asked Clay to be the major humanities commentator on that film and others that followed. He is the author of such books as, The Character of Meriwether Lewis- Explorer in the Wilderness, A Free and Hardy Life – Theodore Roosevelt’s Sojourn in the American West, and Becoming Jefferson’s People: Re-Inventing the American Republic in the Twenty-First Century. He is a Distinguished Scholar of the Humanities at Bismarck State College and writes a weekly column for the Bismarck Tribune. Clay lives and writes in Bismarck, North Dakota.
