Thursdays, March 23 - April 6, 10 a.m. - 12 p.m.

During this course, we'll examine the early life of Harry Truman and his family in western Missouri and how those experiences shaped his future. Then we'll look at his rise through the political ranks and his career in the U.S. Senate. Finally, we'll explore Truman's selection as Franklin Roosevelt's vice president and how he was thrust into the presidency during our nation's most troubled times.
