Bennett Champ Clark; Steven Kelly read the words of welcome of his father, Mayor Ed Kelly. Niel Johnson read Harry Truman's acceptance remarks. Professor Robert Ferrell also spoke at the event in the Chicago Stadium. (This video was, according to a note on the box, donated to the Library by Bill Hannegan.
