About
The true story of newspaper editor, Ken Fortenberry, who courageously fought against bigotry and greed in the small town of McCormick, SC. In July 1985, Fortenberry left his position as Exec. Editor of The News Chief in Winter Haven, FL to buy the McCormick Messenger - a weekly newspaper in the smallest and poorest county in South Carolina. What began as a simple request to examine public jail logs in the office of the sheriff led to a series of discoveries that put two separate sheriffs behind bars, bombs set off at Fortenberry's house, and the national news focused on McCormick, SC.
