How much do you know about the Bernie Goetz Shootings? Historian Dr. Heather Ann Thompson joins us on October 28, 2026 to explore its lasting effects: tinyurl.com/hathompson-a...

#unrest #ronaldreagan #berniegoetz #rage #fear
On December 22, 1984, in a graffiti-covered New York City subway car, passengers looked on in horror as a white loner named Bernhard Goetz shot four Black teens, Darrell Cabey, Barry Allen, Troy Canty, and James Ramseur, at point-blank range. He then disappeared into a dark tunnel. After an intense manhunt, and his eventual surrender in New Hampshire, the man the tabloid media had dubbed the “Death Wish Vigilante” would become a celebrity and a hero to countless ordinary Americans who had been frustrated with the economic fallout of the Reagan 80s. Overnight, Goetz’s young victims would become villains. Out of this dramatic moment would emerge an angry nation, in which Rupert Murdoch’s New York Post and later Fox News Network stoked the fear and the fury of a stunning number of Americans. Drawing from never-before-seen archival materials, legal files, and more, Dr. Heather Ann Thompson narrates the Bernie Goetz Subway shootings and their decades-long reverberations, while deftly recovering the lives of the boys whom too many decided didn’t matter. "Fear and Fury" is the remarkable account and a searing indictment of a crucial turning point in American history. "Fear and Fury: The Reagan Eighties, the Bernie Goetz Shootings, and the Rebirth of White Rage" 🗓️ October 28, 2026 🕠 5:30pm 📍 Penn Bookstore, 2nd Flr. 3601 Walnut Street University of Pennsylvania This event is co-sponsored by the Department of History historyatpenn and the Political Science Department.

I just finished #reading this #book: #FearAndFury by #HeatherAnnThompson
#BernieGoetz, #foxnews, #donaldtrump... Basically a book about everything terrible in the world. White men that are afraid everything is the right-wing's definition of tough, as true then as now.
