The idea for the class predates Cowboy Carter, but the Grammy-nominated album’s release and even Beyoncé‘s recent halftime performance during the Texans’ Christmas game brought a timely spotlight to the course. “Beyond the album, which is kind of a timely event, we were wanting to talk about these Black towns and Black heritage and Black cowboys all at once. It kind of just happened this way. You know, God has things in divine order to put all this in motion,” Odewale explained.The course leverages the album as a cultural touchpoint to engage students with deeper historical narratives.
