Infamy means a something famous for being terrible, or something widely disliked, so, a date which will live in infamy, would probably mean a day that something terrible occurred. For example the day Marting Luther king jr. was murdered would be a day that will live in infamy. It’s a day that is widely know for something terrible that happened.
Hope this helps!
