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.

According to Shakey's website, this pizza parlor is only in California, North Carolina, and Washington state in the U.S. now. This was my family's go-to pizza joint when my father was stationed with the Air Force outside of Omaha, Nebraska. We liked it so much, that when we were transferred again, it was hopeful we'd find another one.
