History Happy Hour with Archivist David Clark Truman and the Rich and Famous

Harry S. Truman Presidential Library and Museum
Independence, MO

Babe Ruth, Bob Hope and Groucho Marx aren’t the first names that come to mind when you think about Harry Truman’s circle. And it might be hard to imagine him rubbing elbows with Jack Benny and Mickey Mantle. But during his administration and after he left the White House, Truman was associated with a cadre of famous entertainers, politicians, and athletes who are household names today. Archivist David Clark will draw on the Library's audiovisual and manuscript holdings to showcase President Truman's relationships with the rich and famous of the 40’, 50’s, and beyond. Free program, RSVPs capped at 75.
