The Smithsonian Channel
announced the debut of "The Lost Tapes: Pearl Harbor," a look at
the historic attack on United States military forces that brought the country
into World War II. This program uses a wealth of original audio and film
sources, much of it never available to the public before including folklorist
Alan Lomax's man-on-the-street interviews the day after the
attack. These particular interviews have not been featured in any other
documentary, although other ones from Lomax are online.
The Smithsonian's site says: "President Roosevelt called December 7, 1941, 'a date which will live in infamy,' a quote that would become one of the most famous in American history. In fact, the attack on Pearl Harbor inspired several powerful public statements, but many of them have never been heard before, until now. Take an unprecedented look at this tragic day entirely through news reports, public statements, recently declassified documents, and footage recorded in the days before, during, and after the event that shook the world." http://www.culturalequity.org/ http://www.smithsonianchannel.com/shows/the-lost-tapes/pearl-harbor/1004513/3437438 |
