Chris – Just visited the Triangle site twice in the last couple of weeks (as well as Francis Perkins' home in the nabe), and the new (to me) memorial is deeply moving. Worth a visit if ur in the vicinity. #triangleshirtwaist

Today is the anniversary of the Triangle Shirtwaist Fire that killed 146 garment workers.
This led me to look at ReadThePlaque. I found three plaques which give three very different perspectives of the events around it.
