John Ware Reclaimed | Watch Parties for Black History Month

Join special guest hosts from the Africans & African Descendants Friendship Club for an evening of film, food, friendship and fun! 

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.

After the movie, stick around for more snacks and a discussion led by the Friendship Club's Vice President, Toni Harris. 

Doors Open: 6:30 PM | Movie at 7:00 PM
