October 29, 1929 –known as Black Tuesday – is the day of the colossal stock market crash which preceded the worldwide, decade-long, economic financial crisis known as the Great Depression. Studs Terkel first presented this hour of music from that era, in 1992, during another arduous economic downturn.
