Triangle shirt waist factory fire
Using the New York Times articles on blackboard (that we discussed in class) as well as the article, “Remembering the Unknowns,” write a 2-3page essay about the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory fire. Describe what happened on the day of the fire, its aftermath, and at least one of the events leading up to the fire – e.g. the strike, Chief Croker’s proposal, the ILGWU and the WTUL, etc. Your essay should include information about the victims, the factory owners, management, and witnesses – and of course the trial. Why were the owners acquitted?
