The International Museum of the Horse is launching a new website dedicated to increasing awareness, education, and access to African American history. It comes through the Chronicle of African Americans in the horse industry.
The goal of the digital history platform is to uncover, collect, document, and make accessible the history of African Americans in the horse business.
The Chronicle website relies on researchers as well as family members sharing their stories, photos, documents, and memorabilia.
The International Museum, located in the Kentucky Horse Park, invites African Americans who currently work or have worked with horses in any discipline, anywhere in the U.S., to contribute their history to this collection.
