IMAGE number: EVB2948015
Image title: The 'Turnip Day' session of the Special Session of Congress called by President Harry Truman. He challenged the Republican majority of the 'Do-Nothing Congress' to live up to their election year pledges: pass laws to ensure civil rights; extend Social Security coverage; establish a national health-care program. That two-week session would begin on what Missourians called 'Turnip Day', taken from the old Missouri saying, 'On the twenty-fifth of July, sow your turnips, wet or dry.'
Medium: black and white photograph
