Marshall University will host the Saturday premiere of "Ken Hechler: In Pursuit of Justice," which the Herald-Dispatch describes as "a two-hour documentary focusing on the life, career and legacy of the former West Virginia congressman and secretary of state."
The Associated Press also spoke to Hechler about the film, which involved more than 50 interviews and footage from the Truman Library and other archives. Those who contributed include Bob Dole, George McGovern, Sen. Tom Harkin, D-Iowa, and Chuck Yeager.
The Huntington newspaper also offers a gallery of photos from throughout the life of Hechler, 93.
Free and open to the public, the documentary will be shown at 7 p.m. the Memorial Student Center's Don Morris Room. "Lionel Cartwright, the country singer-songwriter who produced its soundtrack, will also perform," AP notes.
