SUMMARY:John Ware Reclaimed
DESCRIPTION:As part of THE NFB IN LIBRARIES programming for Black History M
 onth\, the Ottawa Public Library will have multiple bilingual screenings 
 throughout March throughout their 33 branches.\n\nFor more info\, contact 
 the organiser: biblioottawalibrary.ca\n\nJohn Ware Reclaimed (Cheryl Fogg
 o | 2020 | 73 min)\n\nIs it possible to love someone who died before yo
 u were born? Cheryl Foggo believes so. John Ware Reclaimed follows filmm
 aker Foggo on her quest to uncover the complex story of John Ware\, a Blac
 k cowboy and rancher who settled in Alberta prior to the turn of the 20th
  century. As she endeavours to dig past the racist myths and mistellings 
 surrounding Ware\, she recalls her childhood in Calgary\, Alberta\, her ow
 n experiences of racism\, and her family’s history as part of the 1910 m
 igration to western Canada to escape violence in the southern United State
 s. 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 search
 \, and her creative reimagining of John Ware’s life\, reveal who this ic
 onic figure might have been\, and what his legacy means.
