Forward Archivist, Chana Pollack will join the live broadcast of an episode from “The Future of America’s Past” that features The Forward’s treasured archives.
This special livestream event recognizes the 109th anniversary of the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory Fire in New York City. Join us to watch “The Fire of a Movement,” an episode about the infamous fire that killed 146 workers — nearly all young women, most of them teenage immigrants — and propelled the passage of workplace safety laws.
Watch the show with the directors and historians, and discuss how resilience and activism in the fire’s aftermath can inspire us during our own troubling times.
This Facebook Live will take place on March 25 at 8:00 p.m.

This is a moment of great uncertainty. Here’s what you can do about it.
We hope you appreciated this article. Before you go, we’d like to ask you to please support the Forward’s independent Jewish news this Passover.
This is a moment of great uncertainty for the news media, for the Jewish people, and for our sacred democracy. It is a time of confusion and declining trust in public institutions. An era in which we need humans to report facts, conduct investigations that hold power to account, tell stories that matter and share honest discourse on all that divides us.
With no paywall or subscriptions, the Forward is entirely supported by readers like you. Every dollar you give this Passover is invested in the future of the Forward — and telling the American Jewish story fully and fairly.
The Forward doesn’t rely on funding from institutions like governments or your local Jewish federation. There are thousands of readers like you who give us $18 or $36 or $100 each month or year.
Support our mission to tell the Jewish story fully and fairly.
