ACT I 

"Dom Flemons Presents Black Cowboys" features a live performance of songs from his Grammy-nominated album, interwoven with scenes from the iconic 1939 film, "The Bronze Buckaroo." Released during the Golden Age of Hollywood Westerns, "The Bronze Buckaroo" broke barriers as an all-Black cast film, offering a rare and powerful representation of Black cowboys on the silver screen. Starring the legendary Herb Jeffries, the first African-American singing cowboy to achieve mainstream success, the film showcases Jeffries' remarkable talent and charisma. This unique presentation transports audiences back to the Old West, celebrating the often-overlooked contributions of African Americans to cowboy culture. Flemons' performance breathes new life into classic cowboy songs, while the film's visuals offer a rare glimpse of Black cowboys on the silver screen. **Drawn from the collection of The Smithsonian National Museum of African American History and Culture, this new version of “The Bronze Buckaroo” was re-edited by Vania Kinard for this special presentation.
