Pearl Harbor Speech by Franklin Roosevelt -- Huliq News

The well-known Infamy Speech was delivered December 8, 1941, by United States President Franklin D. Roosevelt, one day after the Empire of Japan's attack on Pearl Harbor Naval Base, Hawaii. The name derives from the first line of the speech: Roosevelt describing the previous day as "a date which will live in infamy".
