The Oakland Black Cowboy Association was established in 1974 as part of the preparation for the Oakland Black Cowboy Parade. The mission of the association is to “educate all the citizens of Oakland and the Bay Area about the role played by Black cowboys and other pioneers in the settling of the American West.” This video also shows an interview with a young student attending Bill Pickett Riding Academy, and discusses the importance of finding opportunities for youth to ride horses. Bill Pickett Riding Academy seems to be based in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
