Why might recent events have led to many African Americans working for ranchers?

*
During the Civil War, many African Americans went west to work on railroads
After the end of slavery, African Americans could move and find new work
In the 1850s, many free African Americans from the north became ranchers.

Recent events, such as the protests against racial injustice and police violence, have brought attention to systemic inequalities faced by African Americans in various sectors. These events have led to a renewed focus on promoting diversity and inclusion in different industries, including ranching. As a result, many ranchers may be actively seeking to hire African American workers in order to promote diversity within their operations and address historical racial disparities.
