NY: Triangle Shirtwaist Factory Fire Remembrance by Gabriele Holtermann Gorden
People gather outside the Brown Building on 23-29 Washington Place in the Greenwich Village neighborhood of Manhattan to commemorate the victims of the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory in New York, NY on March 25, 2019. On March 25th 1911, 146 workers, mostly young immigrant women died in one of the largest fires in NYC history. Critical exits on the 9th were locked and the ladder of the fire trucks only reached the 6th floor. The tragedy sparked the international labor movement.
