M and M Studio - Too Black Too Fast Exhibit

M and M Studio - Too Black Too Fast Exhibit



The story of the African American jockey is little known except to those who live and work within the industry. A heartfelt passion for artist Michael McBride since 1991, the hope of the Too Black Too Fast exhibit is to provide a vehicle for all Americans to share in the awareness of the legacy of these athletes, their contributions to the development of the sport of horse racing and to African American history.

Opening Reception: Tuesday January 31, 2012 • 6:00 p.m.
