    Wild read.

    The tradition of hat smashing continued for some time after the riots of 1922. In 1924, a man was murdered for wearing a straw hat.

    I would like to learn more about that.

      The article cited Hatless Jack by Neil Steinberg, and it looks like the book is available secondhand online.
