few comments to make about the closest russia relationship between walter white and president harry truman. a search of the online archives of the truman library returns more than 50 photographs and scanned documents. from letters to memos to detailed analyses of the black vote in 1948 election. and those are just the digitized documents in the collection. there are many more. it would be impossible to overstate the impact of walter white had on president truman. especially regarding his creation of the president summarize committee in 1946. in the 1948 executive orders desegregating the news dates armed forces and federal workforce. in fact, white began corresponding with the president just months after he was sworn in in 1945. alerting him to the realities in horror of segregated soldiers. and of course, the two stood together 75 years ago on june 29th, 1947, in the shadow of the lincoln memorial or president truman was the first united states president to address the naacp. and that historic speech, truman declared we can no longer afford the luxury of a leisurely attack on prejudice an

this was a mistake, harry truman. and then dewey, the only one he signed, it said, it sure was! thomas dewey. truman did sign it, in missouri when he got one of these papers. he signed it. the photograph came from a newspaper itself. he signed many of these. briefly, how come dewey did not defeat truman? >> because truman got more votes. [laughs] >> okay, that's easy enough. >> really, was it wasn't even close! that was the interesting thing about it. it wasn't even close. truman won -- he lost in congress in 46. a terrible, terrible defeat. a vote of no confidence, almost. in 1948 he got the senate and the house back as well as winning the presidency. it was a great victory for him. that paper is really, that is a beautiful copy you have. the copy of the truman library is more beat up nowadays. very few of them. as you said they were just sent out to the suburbs. the very early additions, you're right. >> you know, there will be fewer as time goes on. the paper newspapers are acidic. the poll paper. >> i know. >> they are just going to continue to eat themselves out from the ins

which brings us to harry truman? so by the time harry truman becomes president walter is a political force in america. he is the face of black power and you ask yourself how amazingly ironic that is with white skin blue eyes and blonde hair. um, he forged this relationship with for a very. interesting reason, but the reasons are obvious, but he became friendly with truman then. this happened now what you're looking at here. that's former heavyweight champion. joe lewis on your left. and that is unknown figure and you're right and in the middle is a man named isaac woodard. and isaac woodard's story was incredible and indicative of something very scary in america at the time. there were isaac woodard comes home from war he's wearing his uniform. army, uniform metal printed pin to his chest. he is carrying his papers from being released from the army with the mimeograph signature of harry truman on it. and he's empowered all of these men are coming back from war they served their country. and black soldiers didn't want

he had hardly met harry truman about truman becomes president.n becomes president, he says he is going to be a straight talking guy. he did hold press conferences, this is actually an important part of the story. through the truman area presidential press conferences, as they were called, were off the record of events. these were for background, the president could be quoted only with his explicit condition. when harry truman would hold press conferences he would say something or other, and reporters would have to say can we quote you on that? nowadays we live in this age of utter transparency, if a president even says something inadvertently it is considered fair game. chairman discovered there will limits on his candor, when he was thinking aloud saying in the middle of the korean war, maybe we will use nuclear weapons. and then, they said can we quote you on that? yes, that makes the headlines on the world. all of a sudden the world's alarm there is going to be a nuclear war. charlie does not have that much in the way of quotable jokes, but i'

it hardly met harry truman. but truman became president. anyway, so when truman becomes president. and he says that he's going to be the straight talking guy. and he did hold press conferences and this is actually another important part of the story. through the truman era, presidential press conferences as they were called were off the record events. these were for background. the president could be quoted only with his explicit permission. so when harry truman held press conferences, he would say something rather, and reporters would have to say, can we quote you on that? nowadays of course, we live in this age of under transparency. if a president even says something inadvertently, it's considered fair game. truman discovered that there were limits on his counter. when he was thinking a lot, saying, in the middle of the korean korean war, yeah, maybe we'll use their color weapons, and they say, can we quote you on that? yeah, you can quote you. and that makes the headlines in the world, all of a sudden there's this along that there's going to be a nuclear war. it certainly doesn

i wanted to ask you there are many many books on harry truman. yeah many no david mcculloch's especially what brought you to this book why truman now, and how does this book differ from? previous books on harry truman. well at dana mccullo's book was a biography of true and this is a biography of a presidency. so in that sense, it's a more limited more limited book even though i do have a long prologue which brings him brings him brings him to the to the farm to world war one to the pendergast machine and so on but it's but and i think it's it's also i realized more and more as i thought about it. well two things one that i had finished this on eisenhower and nixon. i thought that and i was already and i found truman kept. showing up he was so in a sense truman was a natural prequel to the to the icon -- and also the i just thought everything our entire world came from that period and it was and i didn't realize it until i started getting into it. it was seven years this i i had cold feet more than once. this was just everything happened then ever

think there's a reevaluation taking place in the same way that americans took a second look at harry trumanho, left office with an improving rating of about 25% in 1952 and today he's sort of regarded as a substantive president and people like the notion of harry truman. and i think the same process is taking place with the carter presidency, particularly because his records are largely open now, thanks to you guys in the presidential library, you archivists, and more papers are being declassified and his diary as i mentioned is just a fabulous window onto the workings of the oval office. and he, you know, he's a thoughtful, intelligent man, even to this day in his 90s. and i think people are, you know, the easily recognized that he has done something really extraordinary with his long post presidency but there should be a realization that it's the same man and it's a seamless story from the presidency to the ex presidency. and this is one reason why i subtitle a for the outlier is the unfinished presidency of jimmy carter, because i think he's, like, you know, he used his ex presidency to

harry truman taped. he did not like the whole prospect of taping, he thought it was on ethical, as did roosevelt, as well. roosevelt taped from august of 1940 until just after he was elected in november of 1940. never again after! he was uncomfortable with doing so. truman was very uncomfortable with doing so after finding out from fdr and fdr's aides, really, that fdr had taped. truman tried it a couple times but he didn't want anything more to do with it. after april of 1945 he did not touch it. dwight eisenhower taped a little bit. four or five hours or so. real idiosyncratic. it is hard to get a good sense of why he taped, when he did. the best we can determine is it seem to be conversations that might have been sensitive, that he wanted a record of. but the golden age of taping really begins with jfk. kennedy begins taping in the summer of 1962. that last right through till november of 1963. about 260 hours of material. that is both telephone tape, and media tape. the vast majority is meeting tape.
