Roosevelt, Franklin D. “December 7, 1941 A Date Which Will Live in Infamy.” Speech
(transcript), Center for Applied Linguistics Collection, New York, 1941.
Franklin Delano Roosevelt was our president during the time of World War II and
therefore also the bombing of Pearl Harbor. In retaliation to what happened in Pearl
Harbor, FDR issued a very powerful speech to all the citizens of the United States.
Basically, what he said was that it was the first time that we had ever been attacked on
American soil, and that we were now entering the war. This is an important contribution
to our document pool because we get to see what happened because of the bombing,
which eventually led to the Japanese internment camps.

event, the bombing of pearl Harbor. We see these posters dehumanizing Japanese and
Invoking fear in the citizens of America. It is significant because it expresses the general
population’s attitude toward the Japanese and message they are sending along with their
desired outcome.

This document holds facts on the attack on American soil in Pearl Harbor. Pearl Harbor
was bombed on December 7th, 1941 in Hawaii. They were bombed by the Japanese who
were on the side of the Germans in the war, and the Japanese thought that by doing this
they would neutralize the American forces. Contrary to what the Japanese wanted, it
brought the United States into the war, making it a deadly blow to them.

Houston, Jeanne W., Houston, James D. Farewell to Manzanar. S.l.: Houghton Mifflin
Hacourt, 1973.
-This resource was incredibly important to learning about how the Japanese were treated
and taken out of their homes to go to the internment camps. Also, to learn about the lives
of the Japanese after they got out of the internment camps, how life was for them. It
really went to show what life was like for them in a firsthand account. It is significant b
because we see Jeanne’s family dynamic and community, and how they change and adapt
to this change in their life.
Japanese Internment Camps photograph. Los Angeles Museum of the Holocaust. 1943
In this picture you can see part of what life must have been like for these Japanese.
although it wasn’t the worst place to be, as you can tell by the few people who are
smiling for the camera, it still doesn’t look like one of the nicest. They cannot escape the
camp due to the barbed wire fence that is around the perimeter of the entire camp. They
were still American citizens yet they were prisoners of their own nation and separated by
the color of their skin.
