The “Fair Deal” was an aggressive agenda for social reform legislation proposed by President Harry Truman in January 1949. Truman had initially referred to this progressive domestic policy reform program as his “21-Points” plan after taking office in 1945. While Congress rejected many of Truman’s Fair Deal proposals, those that were enacted would pave the way for important social reform legislation in the future.
