The Oakland Black Cowboy Association returns to our parade each year to help
celebrate our Rodeo weekend. This Non-profit group's goal is to educate the
public about the role African Americans played in building and settling the old
west. The group shares the little known histories of the Black Cowboy, which,
according to some historians, made up as much as 25% of Cowboys in the west
after the Civil War. They also host a parade and festival drawing nationwide
cowboys, trick riders, and other community organizations. Welcome back, nice to
have you with us yet another year! |
