Abstract:
Less than one month before the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, on November 17, 1941, Eleanor Roosevelt visited East Carolina Teacher's College. She actually arrived by plane in Greenville, South Carolina, and had to drive to Greenville, N.C.. She toured the town, visiting Sheppard Memorial Library and the college campus. Mrs. Roosevelt held a press conference at the home of the college president, ate dinner on campus, and gave a talk, \"A Day at the White House.\" She left for Washington, D.C., immediately following the speech.
