Too Black Too Fast

Posted By: Derell Stinson on August 16, 2007 Hello all. I am submitting information about an art subject that my client is presently working on and I wanted to get feedback from the group. We will be touring this world-wide beginning in Jan '08. Please feel free to share the web page with all you know. It involves the history of African Americans in horse racing and has some serious American History ramifications from it. Go to www.tooblacktoofast.com. Thanks for reading!

I'm glad to see this story told. It is something that is overlooked in history. I've had the opportunity to find out about this on my own by chance. Black jockeys were well known and very highly respected throughout the history of the sport. Especially during the 1800s when Blacks were expert horse trainers and breeders from learning this trade through slavery or their personal livelihood. You should consider reaching out to HBCUs with your project, they would be very supportive. In fact, Hampton University recently established an equestrian program.

Jonathan thanks for the response. Ironically, the Reginald Lewis Museum directed us to Hampton and know that we are following up with them. Please let all you know about our site as we plan to deal with the history of this from the slave trade through and after the Jim Crow era. Stay tuned for updates to the site coming this weekend on exhibition stops and more research information. Thanks.
