Wall Street has had its ups and downs in recent weeks, but not so down as Sept. 16, 1920, when hundreds of pounds of dynamite on a horse-drawn cart exploded in front of Morgan Bank, killing 38 and injuring hundreds.
The first terror attack on lower Manhattan 98 years ago is brought back on “American Experience” (PBS, 9 p.m., check local listings), a kind of sequel to last week’s “The Gilded Age” in that it involves J.P. Morgan and some of the same historians. A radical reaction to the rich was suspected and young J. Edgar Hoover went on a tear about Communists, immigrants and cracking down in order to protect the nation. As heard of the FBI’s new “Radical Division,” he amassed more than 200,000 files on radical activities. And in November, a massive raid deported nearly 250 Russian immigrants including Emma Goldman.
The same sort of fear-mongering is going on now, of course, and a new “Frontline” (PBS, 10 p.m., check local listings) finds that some teenagers detained on Long Island for wearing colors associated with the gang MS-13 have been jailed without charges for months.
