Happy Friday, all!
We are working our way through US History B. After finishing WWII, we have moved into the Truman Presidency. In looking at his legacy, I want to acknowledge his contributions to racial integration and equality. He did have a reputation, however, for being prejudiced regarding race in his private life. He used racial slurs, told racist jokes, and was not a supporter of intermarriage leaving some complexity behind in this regard. How do you explain this dichotomy to students (if at all)?
