The Compton Cowboys: The New Generation of Cowboys in America's Urban Heartland by Walter Thompson-HernandezMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
What a great book! This community is 20 minutes away from where I grew up, but it is a world away. I never even knew about the Richland Farms.
Here is their website: https://www.comptoncowboys.com/team
Their website says they are, "A collective of lifelong friends on a mission to uplift their community through horseback and farming lifestyle, all the while highlighting the rich legacy of African-Americans in equine and western heritage."
It is a beautiful book with very personal stories.
