Founded in 1984 by Vason, the Bill Pickett Invitational Rodeo is a powerful tool Lu uses in his goal of educating people on the Black West experiences and of the cultural pride associated with all of the contributions made by African Americans. History notes that one out of every six cowboys was African American; therefore, the BPIR is a fitting tribute to Black cowboys and cowgirls nationwide.

Touring from February through November each year, this rodeo offers attendees a unique look at some of todays hottest African-American Cowboys and Cowgirls from across the United States. The BPIR is a sport that challenges the mental ability, wit and physical stamina, and represents the best-of-the best who have mastered needed skills to compete in the rodeo.
