One of the things that makes the Harry S. Truman Legacy Symposium so special are the amazing speakers that present at this event. We have had scholars, politicians, diplomats…experts in their fields and keen observers of history. This year is no exception. With this year’s event just a couple weeks away, we thought we would introduce you to the folks who be part of the the 8th annual Harry S. Truman Symposium The Legacy of Harry S. Truman in East Asia: Japan, China and the Two Koreas.
