Be transported through time to meet a variety of real Black cowboys and appreciate their deep impact on American History. Discover how they tamed and trained horses, tended livestock and rode on the trail with thousands of cattle across America.  Black Cowboys: An American Story was developed by the Witte Museum, San Antonio (WitteMuseum.org).
