2025 Bennett Forum on the Presidency
Onstage and Online
Kansas City, MO
Tuesday, November 18, 2025 - 6:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. CDT
Eighty years after President Truman helped end World War II and laid the groundwork for a new era of international cooperation and democratic alliances, the world faces rising tensions and growing uncertainty about America’s direction—at home and abroad.
Featuring political commentator Anna Palmer (Punchbowl News) in conversation with historian David Greenberg and U.S. Ambassador Jeff Flake, the 2025 Bennett Forum on the Presidency will examine the world Truman built and the state of his legacy.
What can we learn from 1945—and how should it guide us in 2025?
The 19th Annual Bennett Forum on the Presidency is offered exclusively to Truman Library Institute members and VIP guests.
All events listed in the calendar are free unless noted.
