Black Tuesday
1929 stock catastrophe
Black Tuesday is October 29, 1929—the day the U.S. stock market crashed catastrophically, triggering the Great Depression.
The term captures the sudden devastation: billions in value wiped out in hours.
By extension, Black Tuesday occasionally labels other disastrous Tuesdays, but the 1929 crash remains its primary reference.
