When racing abroad and sometime in U.S.A, Major Taylor was the biggest draw of an audience longing for drama .
Promoters saw in this an opportunity to make more dollars and sometimes advertised the races as BLACK VS WHITE .

Should a documentary use re-enactments ? is it still a documentary if we use re-enactments couple with interviews and archives ?
