Classic Black Cinema Series: The Bronze Buckaroo

Visit the Gantt for a special screening of the 1939 Western race film "The Bronze Buckaroo," starring actor and singer, Herbert Jeffries - who was billed as Herbert Jeffrey at the time.

Texas cowboy Bob Blake (Herb Jeffries) responds to a letter from his friend, Joe Jackson, asking for urgent help. When Blake and his crew arrive at Joe Jackson’s ranch, Betty Jackson, Joe’s sister, reveals that Joe has disappeared a few weeks prior. This film is a battle of good guys versus bad guys, with an all-Black cast -- a storyline cherished by Western-loving film fanatics.
