Join Geoff Schumacher, VP of Exhibits & Programs at The Mob Museum in Las Vegas, as he outlines the events that led to the massacre, explains what happened on that fateful day, and examines the aftermath of this deadly episode in Chicago history.
On February 14, 1929, seven members of Chicago’s George “Bugs” Moran North Side gang were gunned down inside a nondescript garage at 2122 North Clark Street. One of the most horrifying acts of violence in organized crime history, the St. Valentine’s Day Massacre stunned the citizenry of Chicago — and the nation. News coverage of the Massacre generated public outrage and dramatic responses from both supporters and opponents of Prohibition.
GEOFF SCHUMACHER is the Mob Museum’s vice president of exhibits and programs. He is the author of two books, Sun, Sin & Suburbia: A History of Modern Las Vegas and Howard Hughes: Power, Paranoia & Palace Intrigue, and has appeared as a subject matter expert on numerous documentaries, television shows and podcasts.
