Description
This photo of a political cartoon by Jim Berryman shows Harry S. Truman with images from "yesterday" and "today." The man labeled "yesterday" has the following text next to him: "Are we going to let a few men crush the American people?...Why doesn't he do something!!" The man labeled "today" has the following text next to him: "Are we going to sit by and see this man wreck organized labor?" The original cartoon was inscribed to Truman at the bottom: "With all good wishes to the President....Jim Berryman...and Admiration for the courage to stand by our democracy rather than the demagogues!"
