The March 25, 1911 Triangle Shirtwaist Factory Fire at Washington Place and Greene Street in Greenwich Village was a turning point in history. The death of 146 mostly immigrant women led to major changes in rules around labor and building and fire safety, and galvanized activism by workers, immigrants, and women.

Join us and the Remember the Triangle Fire Coalition this Tuesday for a free and insightful talk by Professor Daniel Levinson Wilk, along with a viewing of a pop-up exhibit of photos, clippings, ephemera, and artifacts connected to the tragic event and the time. All will take place at the historic Jefferson Market Library, a place inextricably linked to this history, as striking workers from the factory were brought here prior to the fire when it was a courthouse.
