spotted on 93 south. why did they get and remove this heartfelt mural, save the sliver between windows? was it just too difficult to get it all off? did a mass statie tag them for illegal window tint? did they realize it says "H aaokiy C" on jokie's head? regrettably, i wasnt strong enough to run them off the road and find out.

I'm turning the entire probate court inventory/assessment of his belongings into an (approximately) 15-page zine. So far, I'm about halfway done.

"The Boley Rodeo in Boley, Oklahoma (a historic all-Black town), is widely recognized as the oldest Black rodeo in the United States, with roots dating back to 1903. This was shortly after the town's founding and well before Oklahoma achieved statehood in 1907. Informal riding, roping, and community events began around the town's establishment in 1903.

It formalized into the modern Boley Championship Rodeo in 1961. As of recent years (including 2025–2026 references), it's celebrated as having run for over 120 years (e.g., 123 years in some 2026 promotions), making it the nation's oldest and longest-running African American rodeo."
