SUMMARY:John Ware Reclaimed
DESCRIPTION:As part of THE NFB IN LIBRARIES Black History Month programming
 \, the Whitchurch-Stouffville Public Library is offering free screening of
  the following film:\n\nJohn Ware Reclaimed (Cheryl Foggo | 2020 | 73 
 min)\n\nIs it possible to love someone who died before you were born? Cher
 yl Foggo believes so. John Ware Reclaimed follows filmmaker Foggo on her
  quest to uncover the complex story of John Ware\, a Black cowboy and ranc
 her 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 childhood in Calgary\, Alberta\, her own experiences of r
 acism\, and her family’s history as part of the 1910 migration to wester
 n Canada to escape 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 creativ
 e 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
