Zaron Burnett’s dad didn’t want slavery to be his son’s only image of Black people in American history. So every night, he filled Zaron’s dreams with these incredible stories of Black cowboys. Despite what Hollywood taught us, one-in-four cowboys were Black. Their stories tell a bigger, braver, more honest history of America.

  • D@mn good, and I rarely review

    From the opening “why” story from the narrator, to the opening music, to the passionate, raw and moving recounting of the stories, this is a brilliant gem among sand in today’s podcast glut. I would pay for another season if there’s ever a patreon or other way to contribute! Kudos to host and team🥳
