Black Cowboy Museum showcases treasured history
Tucked off Third Street in a strip center, the Black Cowboy Museum has two six-feet storefront windows protecting a treasure trove of unsung cowboy history behind them. โI was going through some bad times and God just said, itโs time to open up your Black Cowboy Museum,โ Callies said. He said Hollywood glamorized the cowboy with characters portrayed by actors like John Wayne and essentially erased the Black cowboy from the scene. He wants to expand the Black Cowboy Museum to a larger location. He said the Black cowboy history is too important to be forgotten.
