The Fletcher Street Stables, the real-life organization of Black urban cowboys who ride and take care of horses in North Philadelphia and who are at the center of Concrete Cowboy, would be utterly fascinating subjects of a documentary. The group’s history covers more than a century, dispelling the myth—and Hollywood-fueled whitewashed lie—that all cowboys were white, and you can tell that Concrete Cowboy is only scratching the surface. Several of the group’s members appear in the film, and the credits feature footage of some of them speaking of how being able to ride horses in the city has improved their lives and kept them out of trouble.
