SUMMARY:John Ware Reclaimed
DESCRIPTION:The UNB Art Centre is pleased to present Rediscovering the Roo
 ts of Black New Brunswickers\, a program of exhibits and films designed to
  showcase and honour the everyday experiences of Black New Brunswickers fo
 r Black History Month.\n\nThis year’s film series\, presented in partner
 ship with the New Brunswick Black Artists Alliance\, is every Tuesday in F
 ebruary at 7:30 p.m. in room 261 of Marshall d’Avray Hall on the UNB Fre
 dericton campus. On February 27\, they will present a free screening of:\n
 \nJohn Ware Reclaimed (Cheryl Foggo | 2020 | 1h 12 m)\n\nIs it possible 
 to love someone who died before you were born? Cheryl Foggo believes so. 
 John Ware Reclaimed follows author\, playwright\, and filmmaker Foggo on 
 her quest to uncover the rich and complex story of John Ware\, the iconic 
 and larger-than-life Black cowboy who settled in Alberta prior to the turn
  of the 20th century. As she researches the many truths of Ware’s life 
 amid the superficial myths and mistellings surrounding him\, she recalls h
 er childhood in Calgary\, Alberta. She revisits her own experiences of rac
 ism\, and her family’s pioneer history as part of the 1910 migration to 
 western Canada to escape violence in the southern United States. She also 
 evokes the often-suppressed history of a thriving Black presence in the Ca
 nadian west: the Black cowboys\, ranchers\, labourers\, and farmers who li
 ved\, worked\, and raised families here\, including earlier generations of
  her own family in northern Saskatchewan and Alberta.\n\nPart ode\, part e
 ulogy\, part mystery\, with views of sweeping prairie landscapes and music
  inspired by John Ware\, the film reveals Ware to be a rounded and sometim
 es enigmatic man\, and reaffirms him as a major figure in Albertan—and C
 anadian—history. Foggo’s archival\, genealogical\, and archaeological 
 research\, and her creative reimagining of John Ware’s life and family\,
  show who he might have been\, how he might have lived\, and what his lega
 cy means for a version of Canada that often denies its history of anti-Bla
 ck racism.\n\nLearn more about the film here.\n\nLooking for discussion ma
 terials? View the NFB Education study guide here.\n\n—–\n\nFind more i
