Today marks the 80th anniversary of Black Tuesday. CNN Student News had a short segment about it today. Watching the CNN segment reminded me that the PBS series American Experience has an hour long video about the stock market crash of 1929. PBS does not provide embed codes for their videos, but you can watch the entire video on the PBS video site. You can watch American Experience: The Crash of 1929 by clicking here.

Applications for Education
PBS has a series of eight lesson plans designed for use in conjunction with a classroom viewing of American Experience: The Crash of 1929. The lesson plans are separated into four categories; history, economics, civics, and geography.
