On June 5, 1947, George C. Marshall delivered a speech to the graduating class of Harvard University. His address outlined the U.S. government’s proposal to contribute to the European Recovery Program following World War II.

The 1953 Nobel Peace Prize was awarded to Marshall for his plan to rebuild Europe.
