Did you know that today is the 80th anniversary of Black Tuesday, the day that started the Great Depression?

Asked by holden (8450points) October 29th, 2009

On this day in 1929, Joseph Kennedy sold all the stock he owned on the advice of a shoe shine boy, causing a catastrophic downturn in the New York Stock Exchange and triggering the economic crisis that would evolve into the Great Depression.

How will you commemorate this important day in world history?
