About This Item
White House,, 1950. A striking portrait image of President Truman seated at his desk, inscribed in the mat below the image: "To my good friend & colleague Senator Lister Hill, with very kindest regards and appreciation of his patriotic public service. Harry Truman/ White House/ Jan.10,1950. Hill was a five time elected Senator from Alabama. As a U.S. Senator, Hill was known as a moderate. He distinguished himself in a number of fields, but was best-known for his landmark legislation in the field of public health. Perhaps the best-known legislation which bears his name is the Hospital and Health Center Construction Act of 1946, better known as the Hill-Burton Act, legistlation that Truman was pushing very hard. However, Lister Hill was as much a national figure as a representative of Alabama and the South. During his long years in the Congress, he would, from time to time, break with his southern colleagues to follow his own conscience. This also made him an especial favorite of Truman's. An impressive photograph and a wonderful political association.. Framed. Fine. 8 x 10.
