In the tapestry of American history, the narrative of African American horse riders has often been overlooked, marginalized, or erased. "Reclamation: Riding the Legacy" seeks to spotlight and celebrate this vibrant aspect of heritage, casting a light on the resilience, dignity, and cultural significance of African Americans within the equestrian world.
Each image, each detail, echoes the spirit of reclamation as we honor the contributions and struggles of African American horse riders throughout history. From the skilled riders of the American West to the equestrian communities of the antebellum South, their stories are woven into the fabric of our shared heritage, demanding recognition and reverence.
Through this artistic endeavor, I invite viewers to confront the complexities of race, identity, and representation, while celebrating the triumphs of resilience and the enduring legacy of African American equestrians. "Reclamation: Riding the Legacy" stands as a testament to the indomitable human spirit and the transformative power of reclaiming one's narrative.
