DESCRIPTION:Tom Mooney and Preparedness Day Bombing Walk\nWith Gifford Hartman, David 
 Duckworth \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.\nDavid 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.\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 others non-union shops) and 
 presently works in the unorganized precarious education sector.\nSee
