The University of Nebraska-Lincoln Libraries Archives & Special Collections invites you to a screening and discussion of the award-winning documentary “Black Jack Pershing: Love and War.” The hour-long documentary tells the story of General John J. Pershing, a Nebraska icon and commander of the American Expeditionary Forces in World War I. This year, 2018, marks the 100th anniversary of World War I’s armistice. Pershing was the only active-duty six-star general in U.S. history. The event is free and open to the public.

After the screening, the documentary’s producer Barney McCoy will answer questions, discuss Pershing’s important legacy, and his connection to Nebraska. McCoy, professor in the College of Journalism and Mass Communications, spent five years conducting research on the project.
