West Virginia Public Broadcasting will host a screening and community discussion of THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION at Marshall University. The event will feature curated excerpts from the Ken Burns documentary alongside locally produced video content exploring Revolutionary-era history in what is now West Virginia and the surrounding Appalachian region.
