Washington, DC

President Truman’s eldest grandson – Clifton Truman Daniel – traveled to Japan in August, arriving in Hiroshima as the city prepared to mark the anniversary of the 1945 atomic bombing. On December 9 at 9pm ET, join us for a conversation with Mr. Daniel about his trip – the first ever for a Truman to Japan. We’ll hear about his meetings with atomic bomb survivors, and about his visit to Peace Memorial Park where he stood before the statue of a young girl named Sadako whose story inspired his journey.
