Compton Cowboys is very enlightening of a culture that many people don’t realize exist.  As a person from TX I am well aware there are black cowboy and country culture.  Didn’t realize it was in CA too.  But makes sense; the frontier was developed by cowboys of all sorts.  Color don’t matter as we were and are all here.  I appreciate seeing a different narrative.  It was also nice for each person connected to the ranch to have their own story told.  Some where heart breaking.  Growing up in Compton and many inner cities is difficult and I’m glad connecting with horses provided a respite and that they want to give back to the community and save the youth.  Every little bit helps.  There was a redundancy in the book as people’s stories overlapped, but overall a good time.  Awesome pictures too.  Author did his homework.
