Encore: Giddyup! Riding groups tap into long history of Black cowboys

In the summer of 2020, images of Black men and women riding horses at protests went viral. But the history of Black cowboys goes all the way back to the creation of the American West. In this encore episode, the Endless Thread team digs into this history in honor of Juneteenth. We also hear from Black riders who are carrying on this legacy. This episode was originally published on July 10, 2020. *** Survey alert : Tell us what you love about the show, what you want more of; what you could stand a little less of.
