JSOnlineFormer U.S. House Speaker and potential presidential candidate Newt Gingrich and his wife, Callista, will visit Marquette University March 29 to promote a documentary about Pope John Paul II.
The Gingriches helped to produce "Nine Days that Changed the World," a film about Pope John Paul II's visit to Poland in 1979.
Many credit the pope's visit to his native country with sparking the formation of the Solidarity movement in 1980 that eventually helped overturn communism there.
The film was produced in association with Citizens United, a conservative nonprofit corporation that has weighed in on elections and won a U.S. Supreme Court case last year that removed restrictions on corporate donations in political campaigns.
Gingrich also is expected to announce within the next couple of months whether he will seek the Republican Party's nomination for president in 2012.
Tickets are free and can be picked up at the Information Desk on the second floor Marquette's Alumni Memorial Union, 1442 W. Wisconsin Ave., starting Monday, according to the university.
A reminder this is coming up.
