FDR's Pearl Harbor speech
Over at the Milestone Documents blog, the Doc of the Day is one of the most famous speeches in American history: Franklin D. Roosevelt’s “Pearl Harbor” speech. The photo here is of FDR signing the declaration of war against Japan, which he did a short while after delivering his address to Congress on December 8, 1941.
Today is a good day to revisit the press release we published last year at this time, “Five Things You Should Know about FDR’s Pearl Harbor Speech.” It’s a great tool for teachers and students, and in fact I should remind readers that we are offering a free 36 x 24 poster of these “Five Things” to any school or library that purchases Milestone Documents in American History. If you’ve previously purchased the title, not to worry: just call our distributor, Salem Press, and we’ll send along a poster anyway. The number is 800-221-1592.
