A Message About Food From The President Of The United States
United We Win: Memorial Day Weekend At The New Civil Rights Movement
Â
“A message about food from the President of the United States.” President Harry Truman delivered these words in 1945.
Imagine, dear readers, if President Barack Obama today, also in a time of war, dared to deliver these words, how the Tea Party would respond?
“There can be no lasting peace in a hungry world.” Indeed.
