Amber & More Triangle Factory Fire Remembrance

And, James sends this photo from the site of the fire.

I really find this memorial very moving.

Amber & Ladies' Garment Workers' History

The calendar pages have flipped over twelve times and we find ourselves back on this sad day in New York City, the 98th anniversary of the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory Fire.


And, we find more chalking that looks so, so familiar.


I wonder if Kevin knows about this part of New York history. I'll send him a link to this post so he can learn more.
And then we'll review where our office fire exits are.

Amber & Industrial Disaster

Today is a sad day in New York City and labor history. 97 years ago today, on March 25th in 1911, 148 garment workers perished in a fire in what is now an NYU class building and historic landmark.

The Triangle Shirtwaist Factory Fire is an important part of all worker's heritage. Here at The Garden, we have lots of fire exits and drills and I thank the International Ladies' Garment Workers' Union for making work places safe for us all.

And, I thank this mysterious chalker for making others aware of this historic day. The hand-writing looks oddly familiar. I wonder if the writer knows how to make a cursive capital G.
