Tom Mooney & Preparatory Day Bombing Walk
\nMeet at One Market Street, SF
\nWith Gifford Hartman, David Duckworth
\nDuring this walking tour, we visit several sites, which were integral to the unfolding of events following a bomb explosion on Steuart Street at Market Street on July 22, 1916.\u00a0 With fervor building to engage the United States in the war in Europe, businessmen in San Francisco embraced the cause, while labor leaders and the left denounced it.\u00a0 With the bomb killing ten people and wounding forty, no clear culprit was identified.\u00a0 But, two figures from the left, labor organizers and anarchists Tom Mooney and Warren K. Billings, were framed for the murder of the victims and spent many years in prison before being released.\u00a0 On this tour, we learn not only about the war between business and labor and open and closed union shops, but also about the divisive issues of American aggression in the Pacific region and against Mexico, crusading and yellow journalism in the city of San Francisco, and the mood of the country regarding World War I.
\nThe tour lasts approximately two hours.
\nDavid Duckworth is an art and cultural historian, having lectured widely, including at California Institute of Integral Studies, Free University, LaborFest, New York University, Popular Culture\/American Culture Association, and Treasure Island Museum.
\nGifford Hartman is an adult educator, labor trainer, working class historian, and has been a rank-and-file militant in various industries (some organized by the SEIU and ILWU, and other non-union shops) and presently works in the unorganized precarious education sector.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
