SUMMARY:John Ware Reclaimed - IDEA EXCHANGE
DESCRIPTION:As part of THE NFB IN LIBRARIES annual programming\, IDEA EXCHA
 NGE  is presenting the following film to highlight Black History Month:\n
 \nJohn Ware Reclaimed|Director: Cheryl Foggo | 2020 | 73 min\n\n\nIs it p
 ossible to love someone who died before you were born? Cheryl Foggo believ
 es so. John Ware Reclaimed follows filmmaker Foggo on her quest to uncov
 er the complex story of John Ware\, a Black cowboy and rancher who settled
  in Alberta prior to the turn of the 20th century. As she endeavours to d
 ig past the racist myths and mistellings surrounding Ware\, she recalls he
 r childhood in Calgary\, Alberta\, her own experiences of racism\, and her
  family’s history as part of the 1910 migration to western Canada to esc
 ape violence in the southern United States. 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 o
 f John Ware’s life\, reveal who this iconic figure might have been\, and
  what his legacy means.\n\nTrailer: John Ware (Trailer 1m26s)\n\n\n_______
