This brings back so many childhood memories. I grew up in North Philly during the early to mid 70's. My Grandmother lived on Judson St. off 24th and Cambia. The stables were right down 24th street close to the train tracks. I remember sitting on the porch and watching the the guys ride the horses down the street. They would always stop so we could pet them. Grandma knew several of the riders. They would hang out at the speakeasy and some of the Bars on the corner......

[@philiphempsey9127]

Did the city close the stables? I remember reading about this in The Daily News

[@matthewjames206]

That's a wonderful story. This movie looks good.

[@JackieOdonnel]

What a neat memory. Wish I'd grown up with horses in the neighborhood.

[@curtb2480]

@@philiphempsey9127 The ones that I remember are long gone. But the stables over in the Strawberry Mansion (the north side of Fairmount Park for those not familiar with Philly) are still there. I heard the lease was up on the stables and there is a gofundme to help save them. Unfortunately because of gentrification coming up from the Art Museum area and now Ridge Ave, I don't know if they can be saved. Homes that were around $20k when I was growing up are now in the $600k range.....

[@ChioniLoux]

(Edited to better describe what I meant.) I’m so excited that this is getting the attention it deserves. So many people don’t know the history of black cowboys in the south and southwest. Also, Idris Elba’s accent in this trailer is amazingly accurate to the group of people his character is a part of. I can’t wait to watch this!

[@lindabb7064]

It's a chance the film is based on a real story and not a novel because some "people" out there would complain we're taking their "cowboy culture," if you know what I mean.

[@adamluther5836]

@@lindabb7064 Much of the modern perception of "cowboy culture" is WILDLY inaccurate to history. Whites were an extreme minority in said culture. Too much of the modern view is derived entirely from over-romanticized spaghetti westerns and colorful musicals. And let's not even get started on the wildly flamboyant fashion these misconceptions have spawned over the years...

[@Dodoa39]

People don’t even realize the word cowboy is a word that describes a black horse rider.

[@mamabear_9074]

A lot of people don’t know that there was black cowboys. It’s not talked about like a lot of things in history. This is why I f*** with Netflix

[@nightmarecounty9375]

Depends where you are from. Being from Texas and going trail rides, it’s something I saw all the time. Historically, it’s taught here. From the Buffalo Soldiers to probably the most famous lawman/cowboy ever Bass Reeves. It’s nice to see an film focus on the fletcher street cowboys. What is sad is that the land was sold and is slated for development where the used for the horses grazing.

[@dmurray2978]

Oh boy get that clout

[@wisewillowgames]

YES ! The fact that the orginal first cowboys were black men AND women. Trying to escape from oppression. But somewhere along the lines cowboys became white. Entertainment and tv showed white men "cowboys" going to war with native americans. When the orginal cowboys would steal from racist white people and give there loot to certian native american tribes. They basically like robinhood. If you look at media even to this day "good" cowboys where white hats while " bad" cowboys where black hats. Which is just another thing that racist came up with.

[@artistallies3639]

I seen it back in i think 2019 at a screening. In the fall/ winter in December of fall of that year. Its like the promo would sell it more if they included "Method Man" in the trailers. He did good with the film "How High" and "The Sitter". Good luck, I hope the film does well. Like "The Shawshank Redemption". It was poor in theatre but on home video it became a success. Maybe the subject matter wouldnt appeal to those on a date they thought. However, a great film is a great film and "Elba" should help to hit a home run with it.
