SUMMARY:John Ware Reclaimed
DESCRIPTION:As part of THE NFB IN LIBRARIES\, the St. Thomas Public Library
  is offering a free screening of the following film\, for Black History Mo
 nth :\n\nJohn Ware Reclaimed (Cheryl Foggo | 2020 | 73 min)\n\nIs it poss
 ible to love someone who died before you were born? Cheryl Foggo believes 
 so. John Ware Reclaimed follows filmmaker Foggo on her quest to uncover 
 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 dig 
 past the racist myths and mistellings surrounding Ware\, she recalls her c
 hildhood in Calgary\, Alberta\, her own experiences of racism\, and her fa
 mily’s history as part of the 1910 migration to western Canada to escape
  violence in the southern United States. She also evokes the suppressed hi
 story of a thriving Black presence in the Prairies: the Black pioneers who
  lived\, worked\, and raised families in the west. Foggo’s archival\, ge
 nealogical\, and archaeological search\, and her creative reimagining of J
 ohn Ware’s life\, reveal who this iconic figure might have been\, and wh
 at his legacy means.\n\n-----\n\nPlease visit organiser's website for more
