Presidential Legacies: The Man from Missouri – Mark Adams, Harry S. Truman Library and Museum

Most historians today rank Harry S. Truman among the top of all U.S. presidents, but that was not always the case. Join Mark P. Adams, Education Director at the Harry S. Truman Library and Museum in Independence, Mo., as he highlights Truman’s extraordinary journey and how scholars view his leadership despite many challenges. For example, a dramatic string of World War II events dominated the first four months of his presidency. He later established the Truman Doctrine and recognized Israel minutes after it became a new State. This program is part of the Mirowitz Center’s continuing “Presidential Legacies” series.
