A
LIVING LEGACY
Exiting
from the Legacy Gallery and into the final hallway of the
exhibition called "A Living Legacy."
You will encounter a video monitor which asks the question,
"Who's Quoting Truman?"
.
This video program shows brief excerpts from speeches in
which prominent American politicians of different political
parties and philosophies invoke the spirit of Truman and claim
his legacy.
At the end of the gallery is a large glass-covered posting
board filled with recent newspaper and magazine articles about
events and subjects of today that connect in some way to the
decisions and actions of the Truman Administration.
The
articles will change on a daily, weekly, or monthly basis.
Centered below the posting board is a large visitor opinion
book.
A text
panel encourages visitors to write down their thoughts about
the Truman Presidency and their reactions to the exhibits
in the Presidential Galleries.
Finally,
as you leave the exhibition, you'll pass before a large photographic
mural showing the silhouette of Harry Truman walking along
a street in Independence during his retirement.
