In the 60s and 70s Westerns were the blockbusters of the day. Many such movies ignored the actual history of African-American cowboys and ‘girls’ but some films did reflect that 25% of them were black. In this interactive, audio-visual presentation, we will cover:

• Real black superheroes of the Wild West
• Black female gunslingers
• The Western effect in the Caribbean and Africa
• Whitewashed westerns
• Black action stars past to present
• Civil Rights in cinema, hidden messages
