Black Sunday was an event that took place April 14, 1935. It was the worst of the many dust storms that took place in "The Dust Bowl", an area that was surrounded by Kansas, Colorado, New Mexico and the panhandles of Oklahoma and Texas. Many people believed this event to be the end of the world. It was very difficult to see and not to mention the winds were clocked at about 60 miles per hour. Many small animals, like mice and jackrabbits, were killed almost instantly. It was found they had about an inch of dust in their stomach contents. A lot of people were killed from what most call "Dust Pneumonia" and most packed up and fled to California to escape the dust storms..

When the stock markets crashed in 1929 why did they call it Black Thursday?
October 24, 1929 is called Black Thursday, and October 29, 1929 is referred to as Black Tuesday. When talking about financial markets the term "black" typically means a disastrous day in the world of finance. On Black Thursday the trouble started, and on Black Tuesday the value of stocks dropped by about 13% on that one day. Black Tuesday is the day most historians use as the beginning of the Great Depression.Throughout history there have also been days referred to as "Black Monday" or "Black Friday" where the financial markets have also performed poorly.In times past, people wore black clothes when a family member died and draped black cloth on their house door, and everyone wore black to a funeral. So when they said Black Thursday or Black Tuesday, they meant they felt like they were at a funeral for the stock market.There is also a good 'black' day. At Christmas shopping time, there is a day when the stores finally get out of the 'red' (losses were written in red ink in old account books) and get into the 'black' (profits were written in black ink).
