Didn’t know that about Truman. With your shirtail relations, Kamala won’t be inviting you for dinner.
Maybe 40 years ago for some reason there was a Truman surge in public media. They even made a TV movie about him.
In the movie they had Harry standing up to the KKK. One newspaper review of the movie mentioned that far from standing up to the KKK in Missouri, he was a member.
I already knew that but it is getting almost lost in a memory hole. I looked it up a few years ago and had to do a lot of searching before confirming it.
He was an interesting man. A Southern Baptist, the only one until Carter. He integrated the military but spoke out about Damn Yankees going to the South when they had plenty of problems at home. He was also in tight with the Pendergast Gang. Was an artilleryman in WWI. Kept his hand in tailoring even after becoming president.
His administration was riddled with Communists but he was not himself. In fact he called the general in charge and asked him how soon he could have a large number of troops in Greece, next he called Stalin and asked him if he was going to mess with Greece. Greece remained free.
