I have no doubt that many thousands of students are better citizens because of the life-changing educational programs at the Truman Library. Our district, like many others, would struggle to offer these experiences without help.
Dr. Dale Herl, Superintendent, Independence (MO) School District
Each year, the Truman Library Institute invests more than a half-million dollars in the nationally acclaimed education programs at the Harry S. Truman Library and Museum, opening the doors for tens of thousands of students and teachers annually. This is made possible, in part, by the following Community Partners in Education, whose contributions today are a sound and vital investment in the future of America and our democracy.
