Black Rodeo

Muhammad Ali has a cameo in this account of black cowboys wrestling steers and riding broncos with a rodeo troupe near Harlem. Actor Woody Strode narrates. With Archie Wycoff, Clarence Gonzalez, Pete Knight, Marval Rogers, Bailey Prairie Kid, Reuben Heura, Moses Fields., This strange, disjointed feature film boasts a performance by Muhammed Ali as himself, clowning his way around a Black rodeo held near Harlem at Randall’s Island, NY. Among the features of this film is an extended discussion by actor Woody Strode on the long-suppressed history of the Black Cowboy. Another unusual feature of the film is the running commentary by rodeo spectators, as they relate what it means to them to be at such an event.
