Before the Fall: From the Roaring Twenties to the Crash of ’29

Throughout the 1920s, the U.S. stock market experienced a period of unprecedented growth during which stocks more than quadrupled in value. But in 1929, the nation—and much of the Western world—was brought to its knees in one of the worst economic disasters in modern history. Focusing on the years preceding the crash, three experts explore how a near-decade of wild opulence and unbounded optimism culminated in Black Tuesday and the devastation that was left in its wake.

Registration and continental breakfast will be from 9-9:30 a.m.

Discussion begins at 9:30 a.m.
