August 3, 2011 marks the 35th anniversary of the plane crash that killed Missouri Congressman Jerry Litton, his wife and their two children, the pilot, and the pilot’s son. Litton had just won the Democratic primary for the 1976 U.S. Senate race and was considered a rising star who was possibly on track to the White House. The Local Show screens an excerpt from the documentary, Bringing Government to the People: The Jerry Litton Dialogues, featuring footage from Litton’s trailblazing town-hall setting television program, Dialogue with Litton.
Tribute: Jerry Litton
