The history of Black Cowboys is one that has often gone untold—until now. The Autry Museum is shining a spotlight on their legacy through a powerful new exhibit, Black Cowboys: An American Story, that explores their origins, culture, and activism. From the Compton Cowboys community group that teaches riding and caring for horses, to western-inspired films like The Harder They Fall, this exhibition celebrates the trailblazers who helped shape the American West. It’s a story of resilience, representation, and riding toward recognition. For more information on The Autry Museum, visit their website or Instagram. This segment aired 10/22/25
