April in African American History


April 21, 1932 African American cowboy Bill Pickett died at 72 after being kicked while roping at bronco. Pickett invented and was the master of the rodeo event called “Bulldogging.” Called the “Dusky Demon,” Pickett was one of the most talented and loved cowboys of the 101 Ranch Wild West Show that toured throughout America and Europe.
