Description

Kansas City, Missouri. Former President Harry S. Truman speaks on integration. The former President wears a stern expression as he holds a statement in which he said when the Governor cannot enforce federal laws "it is the sworn duty of the President of the United States to enforce them." Harry S. Truman made the statement today at the Kansas City Municipal Airport shortly before leaving for New York to resume a visit with his daughter. From: Houston Post.
