Why does it matter?<\/b><\/p>\n

Founder Harry Robinson Jr. launched the rodeo to help people of all ages understand the depth and diversity of Black history and learn about the thousands of Black cowboys, ranchers and rodeo performers whose stories are rarely told in Western narratives.<\/p>\n

The event is part of the African American Museum\u2019s mission to educate the public about the Black experience in Western culture. Over the years, it has become the museum\u2019s biggest fundraising event of the year.<\/p>\n
