I always wondered why I never learned about black cowboys in any of my elementary school classes. The only cowboys we learned about were white. We were taught that they rode through trails, herded cattle, and occasionally got into gunfights with bandits and Native Americans. We never once mentioned black cowboys. The history of the West until that point had appeared exclusively white. Little did I know there were groups in nearby Compton US who were actively trying to reinsert black cowboys into the history books.
