Sign up for this newsletter Read online Candid conversations about identity in 21st-century America.       By Rachel Hatzipanagos  Email When many people think of cowboys, images of White men in Western films may dominate. But in real life, historians estimate that 1 in 4 cowboys in the late 1800s was Black. Photographer Ivan McClellan is putting the spotlight on Black women in rodeos, who he said are "no joke. They really carry a lot of strength." Freelance writer Sarah Enelow-Snyder shares the work of McClellan, who is one of the first to document Black cowboy culture. Also in this edition, a new development in the Emmett Till case. About US will not publish on July 5. We'll return on Friday, July 8. Enjoy the holiday!
