In this gripping episode we sit down with Joe Connor, whose father, Frank Connor, was tragically killed in the Fraunces Tavern bombing on January 24, 1975, one of the deadliest Terrorist Attacks in New York City history.

Hear Joe’s powerful and emotional story of loss, terrorism, and resilience, and how the search for justice has defined his life for nearly five decades. This true story exposes the pain left behind by political violence and the strength of a family determined to never forget.
