Black Cowboys and Indians in the Family
Sunny Nash's family is filled with black cowboys and Native Americans on both sides. In her book, Bigmama Didn't Shop At Woolworth's, Nash writes about her great uncles who broke wild horses, punched cattle on a ranch near Iola, Texas, and made moonshine on the Western Frontier.
In the essay, "Private Business" in her book, Nash writes: Bigmama's brother-in-law, George--a jet black gentleman cowboy with one of the few cars in the family (in the 1950s)—waited for Bigmama out front in his shiny black Buick. When he was young, Uncle George broke horses and punched cattle on the Yeager ranch near Iola. He'd retired years before but still lived in a cabin on the ranch, and the Yeagers made sure he had a new car every two years or so. Before I was born, he was married to Bigmama's sister, Lill, until her death. Uncle George never remarried. He got out of the car and opened the trunk for Bigmama's suitcase. His sweet-smelling cologne drifted from the street to my nose. As usual, he wore a crisp white shirt, gray pinstriped suit, cream Stetson hat, and fancy cowboy boots.
"Uncle George was the only person who called Bigmama by her Comanche name," Nash said. "Bigmama avoided association with her Comanche heritage, not because she was shamed of it. She still had certain fears of this association getting the family harmed. These fears were passed to her from her father."
From her book, Bigmama Didn't Shop At Woolworth's (book description link), in the essay, "Cousin Hudge, the Traveling Fiddler" Nash writes:
Did your father give you the Indian name that Uncle George calls you?" I asked Bigmama, staring at her for a long time, while she decided not to tell me anything more. How well I knew that look.
"We're going to leave this old talk alone now." She seemed to snap back from somewhere far away. "You don't need to know that old slaverytime prairie business. I didn't teach it to my children, and I'm not telling you. The old way is gone. Knowing about it can't help you in this world."
"But Bigmama."
"Folks are scared of the word, Comanche!" She scolded. "They hate anybody they believe got one drop of that blood. Safer to be African than Comanche!" I shivered. "Now let it rest."
"That's why you hate it when Uncle George calls you by your other name," I whispered.
Subsiding into aloofness, she seemed to forget I was even there. She wouldn't have been more alone on a mountaintop in the wind. I didn't mind allowing her to escape. I'd found myself doing the same thing when something annoyed or bored me.
Nash, recognized as a leading author in the area of race relations, also publishes widely about the African American West. In the book, The African-American West: A Century of Short Stories (University Press of Colorado), edited by Bruce A. Glasrud and Laurie Champion, Nash's short story, Amen, is included.
The African American West: A Century of Short Stories is a collection of short stories by noted African American writers, spanning the Twentieth Century, including W.E.B. DuBois, Rita Dove, Reginald McKnight, Terry McMillan, Ralph Ellison, Sunny Nash, Paul Laurence Dunbar, Walter Mosley, Charles W. Chesnutt, Frank Yerby, Langston Hughes and others.
Excerpt: "The Gun" by Langston Hughes from stories of the 1930s
Picture yourself a lone bird in a cage with monkeys, or the sole cat in a kennel full of dogs. Even if the dogs became accustomed to you, they wouldn't make the best of playmates; nor could you, being a cat, mate with them, being dogs. Although, in the little town of Fall Rock, Montana, the barriers were less natural than artificial (entirely man-made barriers, in fact), nevertheless, to be the only Negro child in this small white city made you a stranger in a strange world; an outcast in the house where you lived; a part of it all by necessity, and yet no part at all...
In her article, The African American West, Sunny Nash talks about many aspects of the American Western Frontier, including civil rights, violence and lynching, and she includes photographs of various acts and eras.

Fashionable Summer Shorts For Men
Whether you’re planning an extended vacation or simply preparing for the summer weather, there are three shorts that every man should have in his collection. With the vast amount of styles available, you can certainly find one that compliments your wardrobe and personal tastes, no matter how eccentric you may be. Below you’ll find three of the most versatile shorts that will ensure you’re prepared for any warm-climate occasion.
Swim Trunks - Whether your style is the board short or a Speedo, never forget your swim trunks when packing for a vacation. Even if you rarely go in the water, you’ll be thankful to have this beachside attire to lounge by the water and not look out of place. If you plan to do a lot of swimming, it would be best to bring a short swim trunks made from lighter material as the heavier board shorts make it awkward to swim, and the added weight can easily make your shorts fall off when coming out of the water. Also try to select a neutral color so that you can pair it with a t-shirt in the evening and still look complimentary, such as white or black.
Khaki Shorts - Whether you’re traveling for business or pleasure, you’ll definitely need a nice pair of formal khaki shorts in the event you find yourself needing to look a bit more dressed up. The higher-end restaurants will frown upon you entering with a pair of denim shorts, so always make sure you have more formal occasions covered with a versatile pair. When worn with a coordinated polo shirt, leather belt, and boat shoes or sandals, you can still appear casual and relaxed, yet appear to clean up well when the occasion calls for it.
Casual Cargo Shorts - If you plan on hiking during your trip or any other kind of day-long excursions which involve walking, then a pair of comfortable cargo shorts are a definite must for your suitcase. While swim trunks can be comfortable, they offer no pockets for the valuables you want to keep on your person (such as your money, passport, cell phone, and so on), making them insufficient for walking about. Also, dress khaki shorts aren’t exactly designed for rugged travel and can be very uncomfortable due to lack of maneuverability. The casual cargo shorts are perfect as they’re loose, breathable, and offer plenty of storage room just make sure you select a pair with zipper pockets for added security as buttons have the tendency to come undone.
Being able to dress for any occasion on your trip with only three pairs of shorts is a welcomed event. Enjoy traveling light and looking stylish by packing these three essential items.
