100 Years: Triangle Shirtwaist Fire
One of the worst workplace disasters in New York City history occurred on March 25, 1911. In total, 146 Triangle Waist Company garment workers, mostly immigrant women, perished in a fire in the former Asch Building in Greenwich Village. Shocking America, the disaster was a catalyst for workplace safety, immigrant rights, labor union organizing, and investigative journalism.

A century after the fire, America continues to remember, embracing those who lost their lives and the reforms they never had a chance to see.  To learn more, check out the NYC Citizen Corps Council's Triangle Shirtwaist Fire Resource Sheet.
