His name was John “Black Jack” Pershing and his roots ran deep in 20th century America. He commanded 2 million U.S. troops that helped win World War I and changed the world.
America became a global superpower. General “Black Jack” Pershing rose to be his nation’s highest-ranking military officer. But hidden beneath Pershing’s iron exterior was a man who endured great personal tragedy and heartbreak.
The screening is free and open to the public. The screening will be followed by a discussion with film producer Barney McCoy, professor, University of Nebraska-Lincoln College of Journalism and Mass Communications.
