President Truman transitioned from an initially more conservative policy advocated by white supremacists to a more progressive one that promoted a fairer social justice in the United States society, hitherto seldom heard. Through constitutional articles and debates, editorials, institutional records, and speeches in response to some of World War II's black veteran lynching cases, this paper aims to explore Truman's civil-political commitment to ending the frequent episodes of racial violence.

Abstract
President Truman transitioned from an initially more conservative policy advocated by white supremacists to a more progressive one that promoted a fairer social justice in the United States society, hitherto seldom heard. Through constitutional articles and debates, editorials, institutional records, and speeches in response to some of World War II's black veteran lynching cases, this paper aims to explore Truman's civil-political commitment to ending the frequent episodes of racial violence.
