SUMMARY:John Ware Reclaimed
DESCRIPTION:As part of THE NFB IN LIBRARIES Black History Month programming
 \, the Calgary Public Library is offering a free screening of the followin
 g film :\n\nJohn Ware Reclaimed (Cheryl Foggo | 2020 | 73 min)\n\nIs i
 t possible to love someone who died before you were born? Cheryl Foggo bel
 ieves so. John Ware Reclaimed follows filmmaker Foggo on her quest to un
 cover the complex story of John Ware\, a Black cowboy and rancher who sett
 led in Alberta prior to the turn of the 20th century. As she endeavours t
 o dig past the racist myths and mistellings surrounding Ware\, she recalls
  her childhood in Calgary\, Alberta\, her own experiences 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 also evokes the suppres
 sed history of a thriving Black presence in the Prairies: the Black pionee
 rs who lived\, worked\, and raised families in the west. Foggo’s archiva
 l\, genealogical\, and archaeological search\, and her creative reimaginin
 g of John Ware’s life\, reveal who this iconic figure might have been\, 
 and what his legacy means.\n\nFor more info\, please contact organiser : B
