Support the independent voice of Denver and help keep the future of Westword free.
February is Black History Month, but the tradition of the black cowboy -- a figure that's gotten short shrift in much of our film and literature about the West -- is very much alive. For proof, check out the following video, in which Mikala Nealy and other members of the Bill Pickett Rodeo prove it at high speed. See the video below.

Keep Westword Free... Since we started Westword, it has been defined as the free, independent voice of Denver, and we would like to keep it that way. Offering our readers free access to incisive coverage of local news, food and culture. Producing stories on everything from political scandals to the hottest new bands, with gutsy reporting, stylish writing, and staffers who've won everything from the Society of Professional Journalists' Sigma Delta Chi feature-writing award to the Casey Medal for Meritorious Journalism. But with local journalism's existence under siege and advertising revenue setbacks having a larger impact, it is important now more than ever for us to rally support behind funding our local journalism. You can help by participating in our "I Support" membership program, allowing us to keep covering Denver with no paywalls.
