The final installment in Dark Anniversaries Month opens up the history books to a chapter your hosts have never read before, the 1920 bombing of Wall Street. Christopher and Eric were stunned to discover they knew next to nothing about this searing tragedy and the cauldron of political unrest that ignited it. In post-World War I America, growing discontent over financial inequity turned anarchists into a potent political force and set loose one of the most toxic figures in American politics, J. Edgar Hoover. THE BOMBING OF WALL STREET, an expert documentary from the folks at American Experience, guides us towards the moment bloodthirsty killers parked a horse drawn carriage full of shrapnel and explosives outside the doors of our most powerful financial institutions. And as your hosts look back over the three brutal attacks and dark anniversaries they covered this month, they can’t help but pause to reflect on those who truly suffered as a result of these dark choices, and how pointless and ineffective those choices proved to be when it came to achieving their supposed ends.
