...and to think that was penned all the way back in 1949... a lot has happened since then.

It's crazy how relevant this is even for today!

Not saying I don't agree, but that is not a real letter from 1949, it's been photoshopped. Pretty nice work, but the font and size used are a dead give away.

This copy may not be original, but the poem was posted the day after Truman's speech. Other papers in the country also posted the poem.
