Boley, OK

This historic all-Black town, which is home to the nation's oldest Black rodeo, showcases its enduring impact and lively spirit at the 121st Boley Rodeo. When I visited my first historical all-Black town in April, someone asked the group I was with what we knew about Boley as we were on our way there. One person said they imagined it looking like an old town from a Western film. For me, the only reference I had to compare Boley to were images I’d seen from the past of Black Wall Street in Tulsa, Oklahoma. I had no idea what this historically all-Black town would look like, but I knew it would be rich in history.

At the top of them was having an affair with an athletic department employee he’d hired and then refusing to come clean about it with Jeff Long, the UA’s former athletic director. The embarrassing saga had all come to head in the wake of the most infamous motorcycle accident in college…
