Did you know historians estimate 1/4 of cowboys in North America were Black? Probably not, if popular culture is your biggest source of western heritage. Join us on June 4th for a zoom watch party of Concrete Cowboy, a film set on a street where descendants of Black Cowboys in Philadelphia fight to preserve their urban horse riding ways. Stick with us after to discuss the film and the impact of removing diverse communities from narratives about the West, and the power of filmmakers to make change by telling their own stories.
