The Long Ride Home: Black Cowboys in America features Tarver’s compelling and often surprising contemporary images of African-American cowboys. His images convey the Black cowboy’s way of life and its rich heritage and affirm a thriving culture of Black-owned ranches and rodeo operations, parades, inner-city cowboys, retired cowhands, and Black cowgirls of all ages. Tarver questions long-held notions of what it means to be a cowboy and, with that, what it means to be an American.
