It's truly captivating to delve into the historical roots of Kansas City, especially its ties to Western culture and the legacy of Black cowboys. Growing up in the area, I've often heard tales of cattle drives and the bustling atmosphere of the city's livestock trade. The sight of a Black cowboy riding along East Bannister Road is a vivid memory that speaks to the enduring spirit of the West in our community.
