On this day in 1911, 146 people, mostly women and young girls, died in the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory fire. The oldest was 43, the two youngest, only 14.

Frances Perkins, FDR’s future Secretary of Labor witnessed the fire and later said it was “the day the New Deal was born.” #OTD #trianglefire
A photograph of the fire at the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory, NYC, March 25, 1911. The water does not reach to the top of the building. A newspaper photo of the burnt out interior of the Triange Shirtwaist Factory. The caption reads: “A corner of the work-room on the ninth floor of the Asch Building. It was from these windows that many of the girls jumped. Few jumped until their clothing was on fire.” A view of the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory Fire Memorial. A “silver ribbon” runs up the corner of the building to the height of the fire. The corner of Washington Place and Greene Street, Greenwich Village, NYC.

I remember the horror I felt when I learned about this abominable piece of history, decades ago. PBS has a good documentary; seen it twice. Profoundly illustrates the need for regulations. I believe 145 out of the 146 dead were women, mostly young immigrants #TriangleFire

Today’s news has put me in the mood to rewatch this powerful film, about the extremes produced by unabated industrial capitalism, and how a terrible tragedy awoke an entire American city to that reality.

The fire led to the formation of the International Ladies Garment Workers Union (ILGWU) - our oldest predecessor union - which began the fight against sweatshops in the U.S. & Canada.

Join us at 6PM for a virtual commemoration of the #TriangleFire:
