The 1911 Triangle Fire: A New York Story that Resonates across Time and Space
Friday, November 7, 1:30pm | Taft Research Center | Register
Unlike most events in US labor history, the passage of time has not erased memory of the Triangle fire. The story continues to inspire labor, immigrant, and women’s rights movements in New York, around the US, and in different parts of the globe. Triangle memory is nurtured by Remember the Triangle Fire Coalition, a stalwart band of volunteers who connect individuals and groups to the story through the annual commemoration ceremony and other initiatives. In this talk Mary Anne Trasciatti explores how memory work that is grounded in a single moment and location can connect people across time and space.
