DESCRIPTION:1916 Preparedness Day Bombing Walk\nBy David Duckworth, Gifford Hartman\n 
 During 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. 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. With the bomb killing ten 
 people and wounding forty, no clear culprit was identified. 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. On this tour, we learn not only 
 about the war between business and labor and open and closed union shops, 
 but also 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.\n The tour 
 lasts approximately two hours.\n David Duckworth is an art and cultural 
 historian, having lectured widely, including California Institute of 
 Integral Studies, Free University, LaborFest, New York University, Popular 
 Culture/American Culture Association, and Treasure Island Museum.\n Gifford 
 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 others non-union shops) and presently works in the 
 unorganized precarious education sector.\nSee also:\nFrame-up:  The Tom
