Beverly Gage, Yale University

On September 16, 1920, a horse-drawn cart exploded at the corner of Wall and Broad streets in New York, killing 39 bystanders. Until 1995, that death toll made it the worst domestic terrorist attack in U.S. history.  Beverly Gage’s talk will explore the role of Italian anarchists in the United States’ long history of terrorism and examine the Wall Street explosion’s impact on contemporary politics.
