On this Juneteenth edition of NYC Now, Janae Pierre visits the Federation of Black Cowboys in Jamaica, Queens, where members are working to preserve the often overlooked history of Black cowboys in the American West. She meets the riders, visits their stables, and learns how a small group of dedicated New Yorkers is keeping that legacy alive. Plus, WNYC arts and culture editor Matthew Schnipper joins us to discuss the Knicks championship celebration, World Cup fever sweeping the city, and what is happening around New York this holiday weekend.
