The Black West

It is estimated that of the nearly 40,000 cowboys who worked the cattle drives in the last part of the 19th century, 5,000 of them were African-Americans. Now, a century later, and long overdue, men like Britton Johnson, Willie Kennard, and women like Stagecoach Mary Fields, take their rightful place next to Wyatt Earp, Wild Bill Hickock, and Calamity Jane as brave and colorful heroes of the Old West. Narrated by renowned artist and former Harlem Globetrotter Herschel Turner, this exciting video is set to the music of internationally known composer, William Grant Still, taken from his Afro-American Symphony. Includes teacher's guide, reproducible handouts, Parent Newsletter, and Press Release.
