truman library. a friend of his from missouri wrote him and said, harry get off this civil rights thing. you're going to lose the election. you're going to lose the south. truman wrote him back and he said to his ernest roberts, ernie, you don't know what i know. and he tells him the story of the blinding of isaac woodard. and he says, i lose this election over, this issue. it will have been for a good cause. and truman's second term, he fully desegregated the military over the very strong resistance of the army brass. and when he left office in early 1952, he 95% of american troops were in desegregated units creating the first multiracial institution in american life. so here's the sort of the irony. here's this story. a blinded veteran that no one remembered who influence maybe the two seminal events of the early civil rights movement, the desegregation of the armed forces, and brown versus board. you tell me how you came this story. how did you do the research where you mentioned in the truman library? yeah. well, first of all, as you remember this when you become a district judge kind

harry truman had one thing he could do. he could issue executive order desegregating thefo armed forces of the united states and in jul. in the middle of his presidential campaign. what is a remarkable letter i found in the truman library a friend of ms. from missouri wrote him and said harry, get off the civil rights thing you're going to lose the election. you're going to lose the south. treatment wrote him back and said to his friend ernest roberts, you don't know what i know. he tells in the story of the blinding of isaac woodard and he says if i lose this election over this issue it will have been for a good cause. in truman's second term he fully desegregated the military over very strong resistance of the army brass. when he left office in early 195295% of american troops were in desegregated units during the first multiracial institution in american life. so here is sort of the irony. here's a story about a blinded veteran that no one remembered who influenced maybe two seminole events of the early civil rights move

harry truman makes an executive order. what does he do? harry truman in 1948 issues an executive order that calls for the end of racial and calls for the enactment of equal in the us military. he does not actually desegregate or integrate the military that order, but that's how it's understood, is that that's what's going to happen. it doesn't finally happen until 1954. and in fact, the secretary of the was more or less received of his position because he refused to desegregate the army after after the executive order. so there was and what happened in 1954. how it gradually a korea a jump started the actual integration of the military because of the demands of combat. and by 1954 it was just a a before we felt that it actually reached that point. there was a small article in the new york times sort of announcing that the us military is now fully desegregated or integrated. but would it be fair to say that vietnam this ties into your book, an army of fire was the fully first fully integrated war that the us fought it the first war that was

harry truman once said, and john kennedy used to quote this. he used to say, harry truman once said that in our system, there are only about 17 million americans who have the resources to get their aims recognized and carried out in washington, and the rest of all these americans, they all depend on a president of the united states to make their lives better. kamala harris has used just as you have said, 100 days to make it clear that she will be a president -- a fighting president in the tradition of harry truman, and john kennedy. she has used these 100 days to introduce herself, to introduce her running mate, to demolish donald trump in a debate so he's terrified of being in the same room with her. and she's made it very clear that she is going to use the presidency to do everything she can to make our lives better and to make this a better country, light instead of darkness. so compare that to another candidate, donald trump, with that angry racist rally, who has shown us who he is. what kind of america he wants and who has threatened to ma

reminds me of harry truman, who left town with a 19% approval rating in 1953.the marshall plan, the integration of the military. so, the first steps toward civil rights. much of that grew in the decades afterward. and remember, basically any american president you or i could think of wouldn't want to be harry truman, but it took time, and history and headlines just don't run in tandem and that is even when we just saw headlines, much less kyron's and tiktok's. so, history, like democracy, is about taking a deep breath. >> jon meacham, thank you so much for joining us tonight. really appreciate it. >> thanks so much. >>> coming up, our next guest, melanie campbell, is one of the people who advised joe biden four years ago to choose kamala harris as his vice presidential running mate. today, melanie campbell said this in the new york times.

harry truman, give him hell harry, there could be some residents in the middle of the country if he were to do something like that. >> other thoughts on prospects, what he could do on rebuilding? >> i think this is really tricky. people look to their political leaders to decide what positions they are going to take on a lot of issues. right now, a lot of our political leaders are deeply polarized. i think to reach some kind of compromise for us to stick together requires that our leaders, not just everyday citizens, but our leaders, are willing to reach across the aisle. they are willing to take broader positions and pass bipartisan legislation. given the political environment and current political climate, i think that the likelihood of us seeing that is not impossible. but i think that i am at least pessimistic. >> i would say some of the literature i have been reading in the last 24 hours is all of these things that have not happened since george h w bush, when we won in 1988. other people say the party of george h w bush is now officially gone and this is a whole new era of the repub

he is not committed to nato in the same way that virtually every other american president since harry trumann. >> you were a career diplomat in the u.s. foreign service. how greatly does u.s. foreign policy shift when there is a change in administration? >> i would say that foreign policy tends to shift to the left when you have a democrat and to the right when you have a republican, but mr. trump is not a typical republican. he said some things which could mean very radical changes in american policy. i hope i am wrong on this, but i expect that mr. trump will end american assistance to ukraine in 2025. i think that is a mistake from the point of view of american policy but if you look at what he has been saying the last two years, it is hard to see another course. i also worry that the kind of ideas coming around people close to him for ending this war where they suggest russia would be allowed to occupy a significant part of ukrainian territory and ukraine would have to accept neutrality. there is nothing in those ideas that would make that offer attractive to kyiv. i do worry that this c

walking in the footsteps of the party leaders who preceded her, franklin eleanor roosevelt or harry truman. your reaction. >> the wall street journal has had a lot of different opinions. they also had an opinion piece after president trump informer president trump gave his thing on manufacturing. i think they call them a deer in headlights and they said the same time kamala harris was much friendly to business. let's look at the facts. maria: she was 25% on unrealized gain. you want to do 25% on unrealized gain, that's not very friendly to business in a quarterly tax rate of 28%. >> i go through the taxing. first of all i do not support unrealized gain or a wealth tax i have not changed where i stand as a capitalist and i also said to steve when we have the trump tax cuts that they would not pay for themselves a balloon the deficit bigger than ever, gdp would reach 5% and it never reached 3%. i think the economy is strong i'm not ringing the bell and saying hallelujah. as you said at the beginning prices are still up 20%. we absolutely have to attack that first and foremost. >> that as wel

how can we forget tuskegee airmen who showed that black folk could fly. 1948 president harry truman signed a presidential executive order desegregating. the united states military. now the buffalo soldiers been serving since the end of the civil war or the civil war and now we get to korea i got to tell you. i'm sitting up here with two superhero. so if it starts happening, it was necessary i want introduce to you, our panelists mr. henry floyd wright is a veteran of the korean war. born in july 1931, he entered the army and may of 1950, immediately after school graduation, he was assigned to the basic training at fort knox. in july 1951, months after the war begun or began on the of korea. june 26, 1950, before deployed to korea, while on a 14 day leave of absence basic training, he married his child sweetheart. ms. gladys. now deceased following leave he reported to fort fort lewis and seattle, washington, where he was assigned to encompass in the third battalion and subsequently sent to korea to help stem the flow of communism to ensure south korea remained free. upon arriving at pusan

he knew that his hero, harry truman, had withdrawn on march 29th of 52. and so johnson thought in his own mind, he had till around the end of march to make a decision that would allow his political party enough time, even though it was late still in the primary season, enough time to gather and find a new nominee. so i think that's why he chose march 31st. how quickly did hubert humphrey jump into the race? and by the way, did hubert humphrey know that johnson was going to drop out? humphrey had what is one of the only ones who had had advance notice. humphrey learned that morning humphrey was on the way to mexico for a diplomatic trip to sign a treaty on behalf of the united states. and so humphrey found out that morning when he was on the way to the airport, and he was just beside himself. humphrey was was planning to to run again, to be johnson's running mate that year. and it so imagine being humphrey where you you're aware of this knowledge you can't say anything to anyone. you can't declare your own candidacy. and you still need johnson's support no

perdonar a los pavos en estas festividades que inició durante la administración del expresidente harry truman

en aquel entonces harry truman.ventos para esta comunidad. abraham qué tal? buenas tardes, cuéntanos. buenas tardes flavio. este tipo de eventos son muy importantes, especialmente durante esta temporada festiva. como sabemos los gastos familiares aumentan conforme se avecina el fin de año y al no tener que preocuparse por la cena del día de acción de gracias, ayuda mucho a quienes estén pasando por momentos difíciles económicamente. tenemos gente aquí esperando desde las 03:30 y una cola que iba hasta la calle. entonces la gente que estaba al horno haciendo que tenían mucha gratitud, pues por nosotros, haciendo esta cosa, pero porque hay tanta necesidad también para ayudar a las personas que que necesitamos ahorita? pues ajá, sí veníamos, veníamos pues por el pavo, pero si quiera ya nos dieron algo de de despensa, fueron más de 700 pavos los que se regalaron esta mañana en el estacionamiento de la iglesia de san patricio en la ciudad de merced, y aunque muchos no pudieron obtener 1, como pudieron ver, se les regaló

so the democratic party is advocating indigenous out promising is no going back to harry truman. but the president from what we know that there's always been a president. they feel like the way in which israel exist, you always have to be, have hedge, a monic presence over the entire world. i think that right now, there are a lot of black people that are being put in a position to think about. how much do they prioritize our domestic comfort over the international violence that america is reaching? but also for me being beat me being very critical is that i think that it's gonna be a misnomer and a bit pathological to shoulder the entire of the american empire, volume its own device. president carmella, here's now new. i think she's a paternity and being able to say, i want to cease fire, i don't want to see fire and we need it. but being able to say that because she's vice president, that this means that she has to ha older you feel me the entire status oh box. i think that it's a bit unfair, but i don't think that kimberly harris has a meaningful criticism. i think that is beca

and there's a picture of him being decorated by president harry truman. yes. what uniform is this? this is his dress uniform. he stayed in the marine corps after the war. he was a reservist and he was a warrant officer. and that's the rank of a warrant officer on his epaulets. but that, of course, is his medal of honor. that president truman awarded to him. he was a very good friend of the museum's and and really lived a life of trying to honorably represent the medal around the country. so, peter crane, if i were a world war two vet and i walked in here and saw this, what i know what it is, you would definitely know that that is a life jacket. what you probably wouldn't know is that this is a life jacket from the s.s. athena, which was the very first passenger liner torpedoed by the germans in world war two. the athena was torpedoed two days after the declaration of war on the 1st of september 1939. and this is fully two years before the united states is in the war. and michael mcshane is was he was. he was on the athena. and that helped save his life. and when it was over with, h

jonathan beale on board the uss harry s truman.turgeon has led tributes after the death of the comedian janey godley who found viral fame mercilessly parodying ms sturgeon's coronavirus news briefings. ms sturgeon described janey godley as "a force of nature" and "one of the funniest people i have ever known". ms godley died aged 63 in a hospice "surrounded by her loved ones", her management has confirmed. she'd been receiving palliative treatment for terminal cancer. despite her diagnosis, janey godley later returned to touring but cancelled autumn dates two months ago. bbc scotland arts correspondent pauline mclean reports. complicated, men. a woman can say to a man, this is thomas, he is going to be an architect... laughter applause janey godley drew on the everyday life she saw from behind the bar of an east end pub. born in glasgow in 1963, her city and her tough upbringing shaped her. both parents were addicted to alcohol, and the family was chaotic and poor. sometimes come out _ chaotic and poor. sometimes come out in _ chao

elected vice president so he presided over the senate and he particularly liked taking baths and harry truman was the one who commented how terrible the vice president's job was and there wasn't anything to do but wait for the vice president to die. henry wilson did a lot of time relaxing in the tub and he often would forget that he was supposed to be or there would be a senate vote called and he would have to run back upstairs and he was often seen pulling his clothes back on as he ran up the stairs. now, he -- he actually died of -- of pneumonia and i was able to locate this picture. luckily he had his cloths on. here is a picture of henry wilson sitting in the tub there. he was ill while taking baths and baths were not considered to be healthy at the time and people said that he had died of pneumonia because he took too many baths. even today a lot of times you can hear henry wilson running back up -- his ghost running up senate chamber and coughing of pneumonia that he died. this is a picture from the american political science association. unfortunately i forgot to write down her name. n

pushback so the policy strategy of containment that the united states develops under president harry truman is so very important because people don't realize that countries like greece and turkey and iran and palace, all of those could have easily been communist after world war two, if not for the strategy of containment. instead, communism has to settle for romania and bulgaria and hungary and poland and and czechoslovakia and the eastern part of germany and of course, the soviets want more of germany. they push, they try for it. they're rebuffed. later, in the 1940s and multiple times 1950s and 1960s, they still want to to do more on germany. and then and then chuckles. avakian deserves special mention here because many had hoped that it would stay free or longer or, be able to do some sort of compromise with the communists, have a hybrid government. and in 1948, outside the communist swirled. everybody is shocked by what is known as the czech coup, where fully comes and is imposed in czechoslovakia, 1949, china. china, yes. okay. so 28 years of financial and other support from the soviet
