A brief history of the 1987 stock market crash with a discussion of the Federal Reserve response

This paper reviews the events surrounding the crash and discusses the response of the Federal Reserve, which responded in a number of ways to support the operation of financial markets, including the provision of liquidity, in a highly visible fashion.
