I wrote this song for the 99th Memorial of the Triangle Fire. Originally I sang it to the tune of Leadbelly's "Where Did You Sleep Last Night" Then as I sang it, it found its own blues rhythm.   Girls, Girls, Where Did You Work Last Night?   Girls!  Girls!  Teenage immigrants, Tell me, where did you work last night? Somebody tell me.  C'mon Rose, Sarah, Daisy.   Washington and Greene, in the factory, where the door kept locked, by greed.   O Girls! Girls!  Teenage immigrants, tell me where did you go in the fire? Tessie, Caterina, Antonietta, somebody tell me.   I jumped to the street where my bones and concrete meet, the sewer, my blood runs through.   Girls O Girls!  Teenage immigrants, tell me of your New York dreams. Rosaria, Celia, Annie, somebody tell me.   Well I ran from poverty, persecution, misery. We were starving, needed a buck, I got on the boat to try my luck. Made it 'cross the sea to the wave of Liberty. Worked the Triangle Factory, in the New York Garment Industry, Where amber waves of flame caught me. So I dove for the sky, broken window, promises Spring air.  I prayed, New York City, catch me!   We were body makers, sleeve makers, sleeve setters, collar makers, cuff setters, yoke setters, buttonhole makers, tuckers, closers, hemmers, joiners, finishers, pressers, button sewers, lace runners, embroidery trimmers, thread trimmers, sample makers. Makers.  Joiners.  Finishers.  Makers.  Joiners.  Finishers.    O Girls! Girls!  Teenage immigrants, Tell me, how burning hot is greed? C'mon tell me, Sadie, Lina, Josie, Margaret.   Well, our breath caught the fire, hair and lace, the flames, and cinders became our names.     --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/annie-lanzillotto/support

This week we visit with Esther Cohen, a longtime leader of labor culture in New York City and one of the organizers of a March 25 memorial to the women who died in the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory fire that took place on March 25, 1911, after a fire broke out on the 8th floor of the factory, causing the death of 146 garment workers, many of them young Italian and Jewish immigrant women. Esther tells the story of how the fire became a rallying cry for the international labor movement that continues to fight for social justice for all, and we also learn, in conversation, about the work of the Remember the Triangle Fire Coalition.

On March 25, 1911, a fire swept through the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory in New York City, claiming the lives of 146 workers. Most of the victims were young immigrant women from Eastern and Southern Europe. In the wake of the fire, a group of women labor activists fought to ensure that the tragedy led to concrete change.  In this episode, host Laura Free speaks with Dr. Annelise Orleck, author of Common Sense and a Little Fire, to learn about the women who agitated for better working conditions before and after the Triangle Fire. Rose Schneiderman, Pauline Newman, and Clara Lemlich had a shared vision for a more equitable society. Together, they organized unions, led strikes, and fought for labor legislation, combating sexist and classist attitudes every step of the way. To exercise their full political power, they needed to make an impact not just on the picket lines but also at the ballot box. They needed the right to vote.

An alternate title could be circles and triangles... but it wouldn't make sense until you heard us out. Feminist teaching is where you break down structural and stigma-related barriers to all student participation and performance. We then do a deep dive into the 1911 Triangle Shirtwaist Factory Fire in New York and it's long term labor and governmental impacts and the debate over who is responsible.

HOLA EVERYONE HOW YA DOIN IF YOUR READING THIS GET OUT.

In September 2019 Democratic Senator and presidential candidate Elizabeth Warren invoked the memory of the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory Fire at a campaign rally just a few blocks from the site of fire in Manhattan. It was a powerful reminder of just how deep the legacy of the disaster runs. Organized labor and workplace safety have come a long way since the fire but after years of political opposition, unions and worker rights are on the decline. In the U.S., unions represent 6.4 percent of private-sector workers and just 10.5 percent of workers overall. That’s the lowest percentage in more than a century, and down from 35 percent in the 1950s. That's according to Steven Greenhouse, author of the new book Beaten Down, Worked Up: The Past, Present, and Future of American Labor. Greenhouse joins us to talk about the state of labor in America today and why after years of decline, labor is starting to gain steam.Support us by supporting our sponsors!

Musically Inclined ft. Triangle Fire by Tamie Lurex and Vivian Marie

When the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory caught fire in 1911, it was the worst workplace fire in New York City’s history. In fact, if it weren’t for September 11th, it would still hold that horrible record. In just 18 minutes, the fire took 146 lives. It was devastating, but it was also preventable. The incident inspired activists and politicians. It also encouraged workers to join unions and fight for their right to a safe work environment. Then we discuss the most famous kidnapping in American history — that of baby Charles Lindbergh. Baby Lindbergh was taken from the second story of his family home. The kidnapper left behind a broken ladder and a poorly written ransom note. The nearly two year old boy was the son of aviation star Charles Lindbergh and his wife Anne Morrow Lindbergh. The distraught parents did everything they could to get their baby back. They paid the ransom and searched high and low for their child. But it was too late… And now for a note about our process. For each episode, Kristin reads a bunch of articles, then spits them back out in her very limited vocabulary. Brandi copies and pastes from the best sources on the web. And sometimes Wikipedia. (No shade, Wikipedia. We love you.) We owe a huge debt of gratitude to the real experts who covered these cases. In this episode, Kristin pulled from: “Rose Freedman, Last Survivor of Triangle Fire, Dies at 107,” New York Times Triangle: Remembering The Fire, HBO documentary “The Triangle Shirtwaist Factory Fire,” History.com “The Triangle Fire of 1911,” by John M Hoenig “The 1911 Triangle Factory Fire,” Cornell University In this episode, Brandi pulled from: “Hauptmann Trial (1935)” Famous-Trials.com “Lindbergh Kidnapping” FBI.gov

Fashion #1 of 4. The Triangle Shirtwaist Fire is one of the most horrendous industrial catastrophes in American history. In all, 146 people, mostly women and children, died in the fire. It shocked New York City and the nation and led to some of the most sweeping labor and safety reforms in history. In this episode we explore the labor conditions that led to the Triangle Fire as well as the fashion that spurned such an industry - the shirtwaist. A garment that took the Gilded Age and Progressive Era by storm. Get Show Notes and a complete transcript. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Laura Lovett, University of MassachusettsHugh D. Hindman, Appalachia State UniversityKriste Lindenmeyer, Rutger’s UniversitySally Greenberg, National Consumers LeagueMarch 24, 2011To commemorate the 100th anniversary of the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory in March 2011, the Gotham Center (Graduate Center, CUNY) sponsored Remembering the Triangle Fire. In this 55 minute podcast, Laura Lovett (University of Massachusetts) introduces the panel: Hugh D. Hindman (Appalachia State University, NC) (4:55), Kriste Lindenmeyer (Rutger’s University) (17:30), and Sally Greenberg (Executive Director of the National Consumers League) (37:00), who speak about the past and present issue of child labor. Hindman suggests that when remembering the Triangle Fire we should not focus solely on the factory as workplace. The historical definition of sweatshop is “a system of subcontract” and the problem still exists in homes here and around the world. Lindenmeyer discusses two strikes involving children, in 1903 and 1930. She looks at the reasons behind the different responses on the part of government and the public based on “economics, the needs of adults, and new ideas about work in the minds of the young workers who themselves helped to cause the change”.  Sally Greenberg ends the panel with a talk about child labor in the U.S. agricultural industry today and some recent legislative efforts.
