SUMMARY:John Ware Reclaimed
DESCRIPTION:As part of THE NFB IN LIBRARIES\, the Timmins Public Library is
  offering a free screening of the following film\, for Black History Month
  :\n\nJohn Ware Reclaimed (Cheryl Foggo | 2020 | 73 min)\n\nIs it possibl
 e 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 Al
 berta prior to the turn of the 20th century. As she endeavours to dig pas
 t the racist myths and mistellings surrounding Ware\, she recalls her chil
 dhood in Calgary\, Alberta\, her own experiences of racism\, and her famil
 y’s history as part of the 1910 migration to western Canada to escape vi
 olence in the southern United States. She also evokes the suppressed histo
 ry of a thriving Black presence in the Prairies: the Black pioneers who li
 ved\, worked\, and raised families in the west. Foggo’s archival\, genea
 logical\, and archaeological search\, and her creative reimagining of John
  Ware’s life\, reveal who this iconic figure might have been\, and what 
 his legacy means.\n\n-----\n\nPlease visit organiser's website for more in
