On Saturday, March 25, 1911, at the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory, a lethal fire broke out on the factory floor. more than one hundred women and two dozen men. Less than three weeks after the fire, on April 11, 1911, factory co-owners Isaac Harris and Max Blanck were indicted on charges of manslaughter - but when the case went to trial that December, they were found not guilty.

The attached video includes audio from that Triangle Fire 50th Anniversary Commemoration, March 25, 1961. Hear: former Labor Secretary Frances Perkins. In her own voice, you will hear Madame Perkins say,
"I am one of the very few people still alive who not only remember the triangle fire, but who saw it ... that with affection and respect upon those who died on March 25th, 1911, in this great fire. For this we can be thankful, and we can still say, these dead have not died in vain, and we will never forget them."
