"Labor unions, religious communities, political groups and social reform organizations assembled to mourn the lost lives and demand real progress in worker protection. At times their differences in methods and priorities threatened to take back gains made in public awareness and the commitment to act." Photo and caption from the Triangle Factory Fire website presented by The Kheel Center, Catherwood Library, ILR School at Cornell University.
International Women's Day, memories of the Triangle Shirtwaist Fire and other forms of women's exploitation and vulnerability, histories of progressive activism in the U.S. and elsewhere, and SPRING TIME come together this month around the world! The whole month of March is woven through with connections among these, with attention to inequality and commemoration as well as attention to celebration and new visions, of what has happened and what can happen!
