Okmulgee Rodeo & Festival

project by Ivan McClellan (no ratings)

Rodeos are without doubt a quintessentially American tradition. You can probably picture one in your mind’s eye, full of traditional-looking cowboys. American photographer, Ivan McClellan’s interest was piqued, when he heard about the Roy Leblanc Okmulgee Invitation Rodeo, described as a “black rodeo”. He just had to check it out, camera in tow.
