But in 1988, with the creation of the Compton Junior Posse, a youth program set on a horse ranch in the middle of Compton, these men and women found a safe space. In this young readers' edition, kids will witness how the Cowboys' lives were shaped by harsh realities. The Cowboys were able to overcome their struggles by joining the Compton Junior Posse. Now they want to keep the program running to help other children do the same. Black cowboys are a part of history that has been all but forgotten, but the Compton Cowboys have made it their mission to carry on the tradition and be role models for their community. In addition to reading about the Compton Cowboys, kids will get to see them and the horses that saved their lives. This book includes an 8-page insert of color photos by the author, Whiting Grant winner and New York Times reporter Walter Thompson-Hernández.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Hawaii State Library J -- Juvenile Nonfiction 979.493 Th Checked In Add Copy to MyList Wailuku Bookmobile J -- Juvenile Nonfiction 979.493 Th Checked In Add Copy to MyList         Add Copy to MyList
