Old Hollywood’s depiction of the wild, wild West often leaves out the contributions of Black cowboys and cowgirls. In the late 1800s, historians estimate there were about 35,000 cowboys in the U.S., and about a third of them were believed to be Black. Bill Pickett was one of the most famous Black cowboys. Now, there’s an effort to continue his legacy while introducing a new generation to the rodeo. Producer Tara Cleary takes us to the Bill Pickett Invitational Rodeo.
