Only a few weeks into his presidency, Harry Truman met the Soviet Premier Joseph Stalin for the first time on July 17, 1945. Though they would one day face each other on opposite sides of a cold war, the mood was light (Truman recorded the meeting in his diary as cordial). But while an optimistic Truman had a favorable first impression of Stalin, the Soviet leader found the President "worthless". | American Experience | PBS

On December 5th, 1946, Harry Truman signed an executive order establishing the President's Committee on Civil Rights, charged with exposing the violence used to enforce segregation and making recommendations on how to protect the rights of all Americans. The move was a surprise to both political observers and Civil Rights advocates. But Truman's views had recently been transformed by the violent treatment of a Black G.I. named Isaac Woodard.

On April 11, 1951, Truman fired Douglas MacArthur, one of the most popular Generals in American history. MacArthur and Truman met in person only one time, at which the General assured the President — and the press — that the war would be over by Christmas. But just a few weeks later, everything began to fall apart, as more than a quarter million Chinese communist soldiers arrived to bolster the North Korean troops. | American Experience | PBS
