The head docent gave me an intensive tour of the Special Exhibit, D-Day, FDR and Churchill’s “Mighty Endeavor”. It tells the story of these two remarkable leaders, Franklin Roosevelt and Winston Churchill. The exhibit starts in August, 1941, with the secret meeting off the coast of Newfoundland and the resulting Atlantic Charter. These photos are from that 1941 meeting.
I will post more photos each day from the other sections.
Apparently, the British hand-delivered their material one day before the exhibit opened.
The exhibit will continue through January 2020. All of the documents are original. Some are on loan from various British archives. Others are from the FDR Presidential Library.
This is a very special exhibit. Maybe best I have seen.
In the opening section this photo shows the floor is made to resemble the deck of the ship…HMS Prince of Wales
The view that they could see from the ship that Roosevelt and Churchill were on..Placentia Bay, Newfoundland. …
The original document..The Atlantic Charter.

Donna, this sounds like a fantastic exhibit. Thanks for sharing part of it through your wonderful posts. How long will it be up?
Chapel Hill has finally gotten some of that drippy stuff that falls from the sky—forget what it’s called.
Keep on posting, please!

Trump should read the Atlantic Charter! I’m sure he does not even know it exists. What should I expect from someone who has never even read the Constitution, nor the Bill of Rights!
Love your pictures!
