Hoover was known and is remembered as the humanitarian president first of all, always having a deep moral obligation to help those in need. At the end of WWI the New York Times named Hoover one of the "Ten Most Important Living Americans” for his efforts in Europe, Belgium, China, and many other places. Hoover was president during the one of the most trying times in American history and fought to make it better for the common man. The Bolder Dam was re-named the Hoover Dam on his honor years after he died by Harry S. Truman.
