Truman Library - Public Papers of the Presidents: Harry S. Truman. March 23, 1946 Mr. Chairman, distinguished guests, fellow Democrats everywhere: Throughout America this evening, we of the Democratic Party are gathered to reaffirm our faith in the ideals of democracy. We are assembled in some three hundred cities and towns to pledge ourselves again to the oldest and most practical principle in the history of men and nations--the democratic ideal in which America was conceived one hundred and seventy years ago.
On this occasion, we pay honor to the memory of a great American leader, and a soldier of Democracy--Andrew Jackson. It was Andrew Jackson who led the good fight for social advancement and political progress against the forces of reaction. More recently there appeared another champion of social justice to revive and revitalize these principles--Franklin Delano Roosevelt! If that great humanitarian were among us today, he would bring us a message of courage and faith.
