Charlotte cowboys continue a legacy of Black culture #shorts #wcnc #blackhistory

When you think of the word cowboy, you might think of John Wayne, but there were people who came before who are often overlooked. One Charlotte group is continuing to educate people about that history while serving the community.

Saddling up for a ride, Anthony McCall reflects.

“All animals are different,” McCall said. “I definitely learned about myself. You see yourself in horses.”

He thinks about what he has learned and one piece of information sticks out above the rest.

“It’s common for people to have stolen other peoples’ work,” McCall said. “They’ll see us downtown and think, ‘Wait, Black people ride horses?’ Well, yeah, we were the original.”
