Truman Library Institute – 24th annual Wild About Harry

Truman Library Institute’s 24th annual Wild About Harry was held on April 20th. More than 1,000 guests gathered in-person and live streamed the event. Leigh and Tyler Nottberg were the event chairs, and Ursula Terrasi and Jim Miller served as the honorary chairs. Featured guests of the evening were Keynote Speaker Doris Kearns Goodwin, author and acclaimed presidential historian, in conversation with David Von Drehle. Receiving the 2023 Harry S Truman Legacy of Leadership Award was Admiral Michelle Howard, United States Navy (retired).
