the first photobook by Ivan McClellan, offers an inside look at Black cowboy culture across the United States in the 21st century, creating a bridge between present and past through sports, community, and love of the land.
The American Cowboy is an archetype. It lives in our collective consciousness representing the love of the land, care for its creatures, and the hard work that affords freedom.

Our aim is to elevate this culture through media and live events encouraging young people to continue this legacy.
