- **Event Description**: Join us for a free symposium as we explore the legacy of civil-military affairs 75 years after General MacArthur's relief of duty.About this EventSeventy-five years ago, on April 11, 1951, President Harry S. Truman relieved General Douglas MacArthur of his commands during the Korean War. The celebrated World War II hero had publicly disagreed with administration policy by advocating escalation against China and challenging efforts to limit the conflict.Debates persist over the merits of Truman's and MacArthur's opposing views of the proper way to conduct the war, but Truman's decision firmly upheld the constitutional principle of civilian control of the military: elected leaders, not generals, set national policy—even amid wartime pressures and with a hugely popular commander. Controversial then, the relief's legacy endures, informing ongoing discussions on character, conscience, and the balance between military and civilian authority.To mark the 75th anniversary, the MacArthur Memorial is hosting a FREE half-day symposium that will examine the relief from both Truman's and MacArthur's perspectives, situate it in the context of broader American military history, and explore its ongoing legacy.This event will be held in-person and livestreamed.This registration is for in-person attendance only.
