SUMMARY:John Ware Reclaimed
DESCRIPTION:As part of THE NFB IN LIBRARIES Black History Month programming
 \, the Lillian H. Smith Branch of the Toronto Public Library is offering a
  free screening of the following film :\n\nJohn Ware Reclaimed (Cheryl Fo
 ggo | 2020 | 73 min)\n\nIs it possible to love someone who died before 
 you were born? Cheryl Foggo believes so. John Ware Reclaimed follows fil
 mmaker Foggo on her quest to uncover the complex story of John Ware\, a Bl
 ack cowboy and rancher who settled in Alberta prior to the turn of the 20t
 h century. As she endeavours to dig past the racist myths and mistellings
  surrounding Ware\, she recalls her childhood in Calgary\, Alberta\, her o
 wn experiences of racism\, and her family’s history as part of the 1910 
 migration to western Canada to escape violence in the southern United Stat
 es. She also evokes the suppressed history of a thriving Black presence in
  the Prairies: the Black pioneers who lived\, worked\, and raised families
  in the west. Foggo’s archival\, genealogical\, and archaeological searc
 h\, and her creative reimagining of John Ware’s life\, reveal who this i
 conic figure might have been\, and what his legacy means.\n\nFor more info
