    In-Plane Site – “Invisible Ink”

    “Invisible Ink” is an editorial story based on our black pioneers who influence today’s entertainment culture, starting with Bass Reeves, “the first cowboy.”

    This project highlights the influence of cultures we don’t often recognize by black people, the curators of cool. The first story inspiration is Bass Reeves, who set the status quo for the Yee-Haw Agenda back in 1865

    The Influence – Bass Reeves

    Born to slave parents in 1838 in Crawford County, Arkansas, Bass Reeves became the first black U.S. Deputy Marshal west of the Mississippi River and a renowned frontier hero.

    As a slave owned by William Reeves, a farmer and politician, Bass adopted his owner’s surname, as was common during that time. His first name came from his grandfather, Basse Washington.

    Initially a water boy, Reeves later became a field hand while working alongside his parents. In 1846, they moved to Grayson County, Texas.

    In today’s mainstream media, the modern-day cowboy and black cowboy legacy have been revived, notably through popular hits like “Old Town Road” by Lil Nas X.
