Description
Former President Harry S. Truman (right) with Jackson McBride of Honolulu, Hawaii, standing in front of the "Liberty Bell Brigade" truck, parked at the North entrance to the Truman Library. The truck is carrying a replica of the Liberty Bell, and McBride is stumping for statehood from the coast to Washington, D.C. A sign on the truck proclaims, "It tolls for thee. Hawaii's Liberty Bell. Help free our statehood bill. Write, wire, call your Congressman." (See 2004-252 through 259.) From: Mike Stevens, Boonville, Indiana
