SUMMARY:John Ware Reclaimed
DESCRIPTION:As part of THE NFB IN LIBRARIES\, the Toronto Public Library - 
 Palmerston Branch is offering a free screening of the following film\, for
  Black History Month :\n\nJohn Ware Reclaimed (Cheryl Foggo | 2020 | 73 m
 in)\n\nIs it possible to love someone who died before you were born? Chery
 l Foggo believes so. John Ware Reclaimed follows filmmaker Foggo on her 
 quest to uncover the complex story of John Ware\, a Black cowboy and ranch
 er who settled in Alberta prior to the turn of the 20th century. As she e
 ndeavours to dig past the racist myths and mistellings surrounding Ware\, 
 she recalls her childhood in Calgary\, Alberta\, her own experiences of ra
 cism\, and her family’s history as part of the 1910 migration to western
  Canada to escape violence in the southern United States. She also evokes 
 the suppressed history of a thriving Black presence in the Prairies: the B
 lack pioneers who lived\, worked\, and raised families in the west. Foggo
 ’s archival\, genealogical\, and archaeological search\, and her creativ
 e reimagining of John Ware’s life\, reveal who this iconic figure might 
 have been\, and what his legacy means.\n\n-----\n\nPlease visit organiser'
