| Details: | Did you know that one of four cowboys who went on the trail was Black? From the ranches of Texas to the cities of California, Black Cowboys: An American Story offers a clearer picture of the Black West and a more diverse portrait of the American frontier. Historical and contemporary objects, photographs, and personal stories convey the work and spirit of Black cowboys and reveal how Black men and women turned their equestrian skills to popular performances in rodeo, Western film, and music. Videos created for this exhibition highlight individual Black cowfolk, past and present, who have kept these traditions alive. Black Cowboys: An American Story was conceived and organized by the Witte Museum in San Antonio, Texas (wittemuseum.org). The Autry joins the Witte Museum in celebrating the stories of Black cowboys, adding a companion exhibition that showcases the history and impact of the Black cowboy spirit in California.
