This Monday is Pearl Harbor Remembrance Day. Back in April, the U.S. surgeon general said of the COVID-19 pandemic, "this is going to be our Pearl Harbor moment, our 9/11 moment. Only, it’s not going to be localized, it’s going to be happening all over the country."

At noon, you'll hear a 2002 APM documentary with historical insights into what we're going through today. It's called "Days of Infamy."

Within the living memory of Americans are two deadly surprise attacks against the United States: Japan's assault on Pearl Harbor on Dec. 7, 1941, and the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001. Both times, the Library of Congress sent people out to record the voices of ordinary Americans as they reacted to a changed world.

“Days of Infamy” is a co-production of the Center for Documentary Studies at Duke University and American Public Media.
