Explore Jakian Parks: The Black Land. Though the lens of photographer Jakian Parks, Oklahoma’s Black rodeo culture becomes both symbol and setting for survival, resurgence and celebration. Much like the rodeo itself, The Black Land connects the past and present, situating the American West as a living archive and center stage for Black cattlemen and cowboys alike. The Black Land honors the dignity, beauty and power of Black equestrian life as a living tradition of cultural and historical significance.

The Oklahoma Animal Coalition is asking Oklahomans to turn off non-essential outdoor lights from 11 p.m. to 6 a.m. during spring migration season (March 15-May 31). Excessive outdoor lighting confuses birds as they migrate through the state, separating them from their flocks, causing collisions with buildings and powerlines, and getting lost in dangerous environments. Learn more about the Lights Out Oklahoma initiative at okczoo.org/lightsout.
