Monday I visited the Truman Museum and Library in Independence.Mo. You would have to headless not to know Harry Truman was Independence. There a plaque and marker throughout the city, 42 on the street alone. Harry could not bus a table or return a dish without a street plaque ( Honest, I don't make this stuff up).
Harry loved Bess since 6Th grade they had scandal free marriage He made the papers looking up a Lauren Bacall on top of the piano as he played, Bess was not happy.
Harry was probably a stooge for the Pendergass Mob. Harry's first Senate election was fixed by Pendergrass President Truman was considered a lackey for Pendergrass and ignore by the other Senators. Yet Harry said the years in congress were his happiness.
He gain fame and recognition for exposing the abuse of contacts for the government.
One of the last choices by FDR for Vice President he was keep in the dark about everything including the Manhattan project.
Yet, the simple boring man had to make the most important decision ever, EVER. In the museum they have an interactive movie , where the audience review and important decisions made by President Truman. In every case there was no other conclusion except he did the right thing, because it was the right thing. He was antisemtite yet he recongized Israel . He allowed blacks in the Miltary against everyone advise. And that is Amazing
