  • Information Courtesy Of
    Information Courtesy of http://www.Mytrisdightman.com Myrtis Dightman, born in Crockett, TX in 1935, is a legendary bull rider, who in fact, was the first African American cowboy to qualify for the National Finals Rodeo, and did so a total of seven times. He is the first living African American cowboy to be inducted into the National Cowboy Hall of Fame, as well as the National Cowboys of Color Museum and Hall of Fame in 2003. In addition, he was also inducted into the Texas Rodeo Hall of Fame in 2001 and presented with the Professional Bull Riders Ring of Honor in 2003. Mr. Dightman began his professional rodeo career riding bulls in 1961. Since that time, Dightman has been compared to baseball great, Jackie Robinson, for charting new waters, for black cowboys, in professional rodeo. Although he wasn‟t the first black cowboy to compete in the Rodeo Cowboys Association (RCA), he became the first serious contender for the world title. Among his record breaking accomplishments over a lengthy rodeo career was Dightman‟s seven appearances at the National Finals Rodeo (NFR) and winning the bull riding competition at the world-renowned Cheyenne Frontier Days Rodeo in 1972, helping to pave the way for black cowboys who have followed in his footsteps. Myrtis was the first black cowboy to qualify and participate at NFR, and in the fall of 1997, Myrtis Dightman was honored with an induction into the National Rodeo Hall of Fame as the first black bull rider and only living black cowboy ever to be so honored.
