    Multiracial WHITES have always existed in America. Read "Legal History of the Color Line" by Frank W. Sweet and "The Invisible Line" by Daniel J. Sharfstein. Performance was more important than white racial purity. The "rules" were the same as they are now for Hispanics and Arabs. We KNOW they have various amounts of the dreaded "black blood" but we are careful not to offend by openly saying so. Nobody promotes the "one drop" myth today except blacks, pretend-blacks, and white liberals who want to please blacks.

    I've known about Walter White for quite some time now. Glad to learn that there was a book about him and I will purchase it. I would gently question whether Thurgood Marshall joined the NAACP (later, Legal Defense Fund, 1940) at the behest of Walter White. The position of Special Counsel was created and held by Charles Hamilton Houston. Houston was the new Dean of Howard Law School when Thurgood enrolled in 1930. A position Houston held until 1935, when he became Special Counsel for the NAACP. While Houston was Dean of Howard Law, Thurgood graduated at the top of his class at Howard (1933) and became a protege of Houston. After Thurgood's graduation, he had trouble finding steady work in his hometown of Baltimore, a segregated city. Houston convinced Thurgood to join him on investigatory trips south to begin to chronical the discrimination faced by Black People. Houston subsequently hired Thurgood as assistant special counsel, a position he held until Houston, for health reasons, left the NAACP legal office in 1940. At that point, Thurgood was promoted to Special Counsel and the legal office, began operating as a separate arm of the NAACP. The law office became a completely separate entity, Legal Defense Fund, in 1957. So, while I am certain that Walter White was involved in decisions regarding hiring and budgetary expenditures, like funds for another lawyer, I don't know that White reached down to Howard Law School, found Thurgood and pulled him into the NAACP legal office. Such a telling, erases Charles Hamilton Houston, from his tremendous role in the civil rights fight. To put it into a sports analogy.....if Thurgood was Tom Brady, Houston was Bill Belichick....and, Walter White....was Bob Kraft. Great presentation. Buying this book pretty soon.

    In his 1949 State of the Union address to Congress on January 5, 1949, Truman stated that "Every segment of our population, and every individual, has a right to expect from his government a fair deal." The proposed measures included: federal aid to education, a large tax cut for low-income earners the abolition of poll taxes an anti-lynching law a permanent Fair Employment Practices Commission (EEOC) a farm aid program increased public housing an immigration bill new TVA-style public works projects the establishment of a new Department of Welfare (Dept O HHS) the repeal of the Taft-Hartley Act, regulating the activities of labor unions an increase in the minimum wage from 40 to 75 cents an hour national health insurance expanded Social Security coverage, and a $4 billion tax increase to reduce the national debt and finance these programs.

    Nobody cared what he said. The American public was sick and tired of the war and wanted the soldiers home. Go back and read newspapers of the time and listen to the radio news reports. There is no way the military command and enlisted men would have bought into trying to drive the commie army out of Europe - it is doubtful they could have done it anyway as the commies had far more resources in Eastern Europe than the US and the British. There were soldiers that let it be known that they would refuse to go to the Pacific to fight the Japanese because they had done their job of defeating Germany. I recall reading of the fear of the military command that soldiers would mutiny on ships taking them to the Pacific. Does anybody really believe those soldiers would have accepted starting a new war against anybody?

    Born in 1964 and have to admit I knew very little about Harry Truman before watching this video other than that he dropped the bomb on Japan. I have a bit of an excuse in that I'm Canadian so Truman was not "our" guy. Enjoyed his video very much, Harry Truman did some great work with his committee shaming the blood suckers into getting onboard with the war effort. BTW the report on the fracture of SS Schenectady is only partly correct, as a mechanical engineer of 30 years experience when I retired I assure you that the low quality of the steel plate was a significant factor in those brittle fractures experienced in the war, and there were hundreds of fractures in Liberty ships, T2 tankers like this one, and others, I have been reading about ship construction in the war and that is what lead me to this video. Great job.

    The pic from 11.30 to around 16 mins is taken outside Chateau Montigny and i dont think it was after the fighting as suggested in this vid although i could be wrong , i live in Montigny and i do know that this area was the base for the US school of artillery at the time, the chateau was used as the officers mess, other ranks were billeted in houses within the village, when i purchased my house 20 years ago i came across a postcard from an American soldier to a M Jacob, the owner of my house at the time sent from Marseille as he was awaiting transport back to the states to thank him for all he did for him during this time , ive enclosed below a little info from the Chateau website In 1918 the whole Chatillon region, and especially the Chateau de Montigny sur Aube, were welcoming with a unified spirit, all the future battalions of young Americans, often having volunteered without hesitation, but also without knowledge of the build-up of armaments on the hills surrounding the Chateau de Montigny sur Aube, and the sound of the French 75 canon, not far from the headquarters of The American expeditionary force at Chaumont (Haute-Marne) under the command of General John Pershing. Harry Truman, then 34 years old, was part of the arrivals. Arriving as a junior officer, he left as a Captain, having successfully completed a high-level training course. This period of his life gave him a knowledge of the world and of Europe that was witnessed by all his letters home and his biographer David McCullough, and which instilled in him the spirit of a leader which graced his march to power as President of the United States from 1945-1953.
