ida b. wells
journalist ida b. wells-barnett launched a campaign against lynching after a white mob lynched three african americans in 1892 in memphis. she paid a price for her vocal opposition. the newspaper offices where she worked were wrecked and her life was threatened by racists. she moved to new york and then chicago, and continued writing and lecturing about lynching until her death in 1931. with the help of the naacp, the demand for antilynching laws became part of the progressive agenda. although more than 3,000 lynchings had been recorded by the 1920s, southern opposition blocked every anti-lynching bill in congress.

stock market crash of 1929
during the summer of 1929, the stock market reached record highs. there were hints of problems ahead, but few people paid attention. for one thing, too many people's wealth depended on buying stocks on margin, creating a debt that would be hard to repay if stock prices fell. another hint was the slowdown in buying-most families had already bought a car, furniture, and an array of household appliances, and did not need any more. but factories continued to produce goods at record rates, creating huge inventories of unsold products that just sat in warehouses and on store shelves. also, farms continued to fail at an alarming rate as prices dropped and money stopped coming in.
in the fall of 1929, the prices of stocks dropped sharply, then recovered—until october 29, 1929, when they collapsed. stocks that had sold for $90 a share or more were suddenly almost worthless. investors lost nearly $8 billion on that one day.
once people lost confidence in the stock market, it touched off a chain reaction. brokers demanded that investors pay their margin loans, and banks asked for the money they had loaned the brokers. millions of people withdrew their money from banks. this "run" on the banks caused hundreds of banks to run out of cash and forced them to close temporarily. in the aftermath of the stock market crash, there were stories about people who jumped out of windows and killed themselves—which did happen, although the stories often exaggerated the numbers of victims. -

lance armstrong
the most dramatic fall from grace for any sportsman in the modern era was probably that of cyclist lance armstrong, who won a record seven titles in the tour de france—all after he had successfully battled cancer. armstrong earned millions from sponsorship and was admired by many for his athleticism and sheer determination. however, this came crashing down when, after denying it for many years, he admitted he was involved in a doping scandal.
