A little before 8:00 A.M. and on December 7, 1941, America was attacked by Japanese air forces. President Franklin D. Roosevelt addressed Congress, and gave a famous speech entitled "Day of Infamy." Soon after the bombing on Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, President Roosevelt signed a declaration of war against Japan, which led America into the second great war--World War II.
INFAMOUS-(adjective) having an evil or horrible reputation
INFAMY-(noun) evil reputation brought on by the worst kind of event.
To help discuss this date in history, I used Digital Vaults to display primary sources from WWII. On the Digital Vault website there is a poster creation tool that I shared with the students. Check out the awesome poster my student created after being inspired from the National Archives records. Great poster for our veterans G.H!

What day will live in infamy for the rest of your life? Who? What? When? Where? Why is it infamous?
