‘The Rock’
In celebration of Women’s History Month, the Senator John Heinz History Center will host the world premiere of “The Rock,” a documentary about the life and legacy of Therese Rocco, from 7 to 9 p.m. March 7. During her career with the Pittsburgh Police Department, Rocco became one of America’s first female assistant police chiefs and the first in Pittsburgh.
Following the screening of the 50-minute documentary, Rocco will share intimate stories about her life, her work as an investigator, and how she continues to contribute to law enforcement and missing persons investigations in Pittsburgh. Copies of Rocco’s book, “Therese Rocco: A Memoir,” are available for purchase online as well as for sale on the evening of the program.
Admission to this program is free. Advance registration is encouraged at www.heinzhistorycenter.org/events.
