Keeneland Library has scheduled a number of events for the remainder of 2023 to expand the reach of its groundbreaking exhibit, The Heart of the Turf: Racing’s Black Pioneers, which highlights the lives and careers of 80 African Americans working in the Thoroughbred industry from the mid-1800s to the present. Activities include a traveling exhibit, a new book and Breyer model of pioneering Black jockey Cheryl White and an appearance by Pulitzer Prize winner Geraldine Brooks, author of bestseller Horse.
