Triangle Fire Memorial Dedication
Please join The Remember the Triangle Fire Coalition on Oct 11th, when a new interactive Triangle Fire memorial will be dedicated at the site of the Asch/Brown building on Greene Street and Washington Place. People will be assembling at 11:30am for the noon ceremony. The unusual nature of a memorial being erected in a juried contest so many years later is a testament to the power of memory and ongoing activism.
Almost all who perished in 1911 were young female Jewish and Italian immigrants who died due to locked fire doors. They mainly lived in what was then considered the Lower East Side, Little Italy, and Greenwich Village.
Join us in remembering the dead at the site of the Fire, and in doing so, deepening the conversation on how engaging with New York City's past richens and informs its future.
