DESCRIPTION:Did you know that President Harry S. Truman ordered the integra
	tion of the U.S. military in 1948 through Executive Order 9981?\n\nIn the 
	aftermath of World War II\, returning veterans faced continued racial disc
	rimination. The brutal attack and blinding of Sergeant Isaac Woodard Jr.\,
	 just hours after his honorable discharge\, shocked the nation and helped 
	prompt President Truman to take action. His response led to a federal inve
	stigation and\, ultimately\, the desegregation of the armed forces.\n\nIn 
	collaboration with the Harry S. Truman Presidential Library and Museum\, B
	rown v. Board of Education National Historical Park is exploring how Truma
	n’s leadership advanced the broader movement for integration and school de
	segregation.\n\nAfter visiting Truman and Civil Rights\, from April 20 thr
	ough May 26\, the Truman Library in Kansas City will also host Opening the
	 Vault: The Story of Us\, a traveling exhibition featuring landmark docume
	nts in U.S. history\, including Plessy v. Ferguson\, Brown v. Board of Edu
	cation\, and the Voting Rights Act of 1965.\n\nEvent details: https://www.
