Black Cowboys and Cowgirls, real & imagined

Black History Walks

Presentation on the real history of  African-American heroes in the 'Wild West'  and their representation on Hollywood movies

In the 60s and 70s Westerns were the blockbusters of the day. Many such movies ignored the actual history of African-American cowboys and &#x27;girls&#x27; but some films did reflect that 25% of them were black. In this interactive, audio-visual presentation, we will cover:<ul><li>Real black superheroes of the Wild West</li><li>Black female gunslingers</li><li>The Western effect in the Caribbean and Africa</li><li>Whitewashed westerns</li><li>Black action stars past to present</li><li>Civil Rights in cinema, hidden messages</li></ul>NB. DUE to Coronavirus this event will now be delivered online via Zoom. The link will be sent to your email after you register.Check out our other talks,walks, films, black history river cruises and bus tours at www.blackhistorywalks.co.uk
