DESCRIPTION:Tom Mooney and Preparedness Day Bombing Walk\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. 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 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.\n\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.\n\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.\n\nSee also: Frame-up: The Incredible Case of
