"A Flame That Keeps Burning:
Marking the Centennial of the Triangle Factory Fire"
Sunday, March 13, 2011
10:30 am - 12:00 pm
One hundred years ago, a fire raged through the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory in New York City, killing 146 workers -- mostly Jewish and Italian young women and teenagers -- and sparking a national movement for labor rights. This program of drama, poetry and music (including our own Voices of Conscience Chorus) will explore the legacy of the infamous fire -- one of the worst industrial disasters in U.S. history -- and the struggles for workers' safety that continue around the world today.
Presented by the Sholem Community, Arbeter Ring/Workmen's Circle, Progressive Jewish Alliance (PJA), and LALaborfest.
Westside Neighborhood School campus
5401 Beethoven Street, Los Angeles, CA 90066
