520    Inspired by a powerful New York Times article that went 
       viral, this young readers' edition tells the uplifting 
       true story of Black men and women from Compton, California,
       who found purpose through raising and riding horses. The 
       Compton Cowboys are a group who grew up in the city where 
       Kendrick Lamar and Serena Williams were raised; a city 
       portrayed in the media as ground zero for gang violence. 
       But in 1988, with the creation of the Compton Junior Posse,
       a youth program set on a horse ranch in the middle of 
       Compton, these men and women found a safe space. In this 
       young readers' edition, kids will witness how the Cowboys'
       lives were shaped by harsh realities. The Cowboys were 
       able to overcome their struggles by joining the Compton 
       Junior Posse. Now they want to keep the program running to
       help other children do the same. Black cowboys are a part 
       of history that has been all but forgotten, but the 
       Compton Cowboys have made it their mission to carry on the
       tradition and be role models for their community. In 
       addition to reading about the Compton Cowboys, kids will 
       get to see them and the horses that saved their lives. 
       This book includes an 8-page insert of color photos by the
       author, Whiting Grant winner and New York Times reporter 
       Walter Thompson-Hernández.
