SUMMARY:John Ware Reclaimed
DESCRIPTION:As part of THE NFB IN LIBRARIES annual programming\, the Saint 
 John Public Library is offering free public screening of the following fil
 m for Black History Month:\n\n\n\nJohn Ware Reclaimed (Cheryl Foggo | 2
 020 | 73 min)\n\nIs it possible to love someone who died before you were 
 born? Cheryl Foggo believes so. John Ware Reclaimed follows filmmaker Fo
 ggo on her quest to uncover the complex story of John Ware\, a Black cowbo
 y and rancher who settled in Alberta prior to the turn of the 20th centur
 y. As she endeavours to dig past the racist myths and mistellings surround
 ing Ware\, she recalls her childhood in Calgary\, Alberta\, her own experi
 ences of racism\, and her family’s history as part of the 1910 migration
  to western Canada to escape violence in the southern United States. She a
 lso evokes the suppressed history of a thriving Black presence in the Prai
 ries: the Black pioneers who lived\, worked\, and raised families in the w
 est. Foggo’s archival\, genealogical\, and archaeological search\, and h
 er creative reimagining of John Ware’s life\, reveal who this iconic fig
 ure might have been\, and what his legacy means.\n\n\n\n---\n\nFor more in
