Celebrate Black History Month with an inspiring afternoon of film that amplifies Black voices and experiences. Join us for a screening of the National Film Board of Canada’s documentary:

John Ware Reclaimed
2020 | 1h 12m

John Ware Reclaimed follows filmmaker Cheryl Foggo on her quest to re-examine the mythology surrounding John Ware, the Black cowboy who settled in Alberta, Canada, before the turn of the 20th century. Foggo’s research uncovers who this iconic figure might have been, and what his legacy means in terms of anti-Black racism, both past and present.
