Left, Deoan Henderson puts resin on his bull-riding rope before
climbing aboard the bull's bare back, above, for an exhibition rodeo
Friday at the Princess Anne Park Horse Ring in Virginia Beach. The
exhibition was put on for area children by the Bill Pickett
Invitational Black Rodeo. For twelve years, the rodeo has sought to
keep the tradition of the black cowboy alive through education and
entertainment. The weekend rodeo also is part of the
African-American '96 Festival of Pride. Story, B2 by CNB
