Texas Black Invitational Rodeo
Shine up those boots and belt buckles because the 37th Texas Black Invitational Rodeo is riding into town Saturday, July 25.
Presented by the African American Museum, Dallas, the family-fun rodeo showcases Black cowboys and cowgirls competing for cash prizes in fan-favorite events including bronc and bull riding, calf and steer roping, barrel racing and a Pony Express relay race. Aside from the thrills, the rodeo provides a powerful glimpse into the historical contributions African Americans made in settling the western U.S.
This year’s event pays tribute to the late Western trailblazer Cleo Hearn. Known affectionately as “Mr. Black Rodeo,” the National Rodeo Hall of Famer spent more than 50 years breaking racial barriers and educating audiences on the diverse history of the American West. Today, his four sons carry his torch forward, partnering with the African American Museum to produce this beloved annual tradition that celebrates community, culture and cowboy excellence.
