In the heyday of cattle drives, blacks made up about 25 percent of cowboys. Another 25%-30% were Latino.
Sure not like the movies told it.

In the mid-80s one of my rodeo travel partners and I were invited to compete in a Bill Pickett Invitational Rodeo in OKC. We met a great rodeo photographer named Spider (can't recall his last name) who later went on to be a PRCA photographer -- not an easy feat for anybody -- and was one of the first black PRCA photographers. "Mulie" was one of the bull riders there. He would light a cigarette before he got on his bull. I asked him how come he didn't go Pro since he was a great bull rider. He told me it was because the PRCA wouldn't let him smoke while riding, lol.
