it's this high point for american radicalism between hay market and maybe the 1920s or the l.a. times bombing in the 1910s, something like this all the way to socco and vanzetti in 1920. the preparedness day bombing was not the first nor was it the last moment of radicalism in u.s. history but i think it gives us a valuable lens into this much broader story. i will say this, too, i think the bombings and the attacks also give us during this period some ominous and intimate parallels with other and more recent acts of domestic terrorism. for example, the atlanta olympics in 1996 or when i was research this very ominously the boston marathon bombing in 2013. shrouded in this debate were questions of loyalty, anti-immigrant attitudes, this kind of rich/poor gap that seemed to be exacerbated in the american experience and this fear of radicalism that could have, of course, disastrous results. as i mentioned 100 years later the anniversary has come and gone, it happened this past summer of the bombing. today san francisco residents and probably even more tourists walk by the bombing
