When I was young, I competed in bareback in rodeos across the Southeast. And looking back, I can remember that most people who attended rodeo events were never taught about the contribution that black cowboys like Bill Picket made to rodeo showmanship. Thank you for sharing this video. Loved every minute of it. :)
30 years ago my brother and my significant other at the time entered bull riding in an all black Rodeo Association. Keep the history going
I have heard about this black rodeo only since I have moved to the south, but I must say that this video is very enlightening about some of the history that blacks played in being cowboys.
She has a very beautiful voice and demeanour. She brings a real dignity to rodeo.
I love this and I wish this was longer. 🤠🐎💖💖
I love this...I wish I could have participated in rodeo
Am happy see people who look like me riding horses, am gating emotional, I love ma people.
Idky but stuff like this make me cry because we are so stuck in our ways and time zones . Im from the east and I would frackin love to experience every piece of this black culture
Start learning horsemanship.

They were in history but they changed all kinds of things in their history books not to mention all that they leave out😔
Cowboy way of life doesn’t have a rule for the race of a person.
Awesome 😎😎😎😎😎😎😎
This is so dope
Good
JUst recently finding out how many cowboys were black. Astounding that the movies and myths
never brought this to the forefront.
Nice
You see black cowboys in history books. Black cowboys comprised 1/4 of all cowboys in the west from 1865- thru the 1890's.
Thank you high ones 🐎✍🦉💜🤳🦆🦆🦉💋🐢😍💌🤰👼👼🧞♀️🧞♀️🧜♀️
Horses don't discriminate people do.

Many people don't know the first cowboys were black people, like it or not African Americans are the first cowboys and cowgirls, yeah i said it.
Look up when the white man created the first cowboy hat? Then see when black slaves were released from slavery? Then Google when the first cowboy hat ever was created by Mexicans in the 1500s that was when the sombrero was created for vaqueros = Mexican cowboys. Vaqueros have been around since the 1500s when white men and black men were not even in America yet? You my man are trying to rewrite history to your dreams of what happened in your head? You probably didn't know this but the fathers of the Mexicans brought horses from Spain to America.
Yeah! America makes you believe it is a white-only sport. So much fun! I love you guy.
No not anymore-quit letting their agenda’s define y’all-imo learn real history-I knew about Bill Picket since little and did book report on him in78/79 and I’m an Confederate 🤔😊❤️
Anyone who has information on the history of this needs to save it and preserve it. I don’t know the history but I believe it true. We live in a time where the democrats want to change our country and history and values and traditions. Michelle Obama said something about that.
StageCoach Mary was a legend.
Please black people have fun and enjoy Mexican culture from the 1500s and remember the words rodeo and lasso are of Spanish language.
This lady is definitely mix with indigenous blood she looks straight native.
Why does voa keep pushing this divisive garbage ??
The whole story is that she's BLACK ?????
Oh
My
GOD
Agreed. This is just as bad as Hollywood and the rest of the mainstream news
Go pray...
Ha ha. It must suck to be white. Dont get mad at blacks. Your great grandfather pave the way for the white man's demise.
How is it divisive? Otherwise all you "colorblind,I'm not racist but ....." types would talk about is the catchall " Chicago" gtfoh
Elaborate, Joseph Sherman.
I thought that she would have an accent being from Africa
