Walk to the Triangle Fire Memorial Unveiling

On October 11, a memorial to the victims of the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory Fire will be unveiled on the façade of the Asch/Brown Building on the corner of Washington Place and Greene Street where the fire took place in 1911, almost halfway between the Draft Riots and March on Washington. We will meet at 10:30 to walk down to the ceremony together, carrying shirtwaist banners, handing out flyers, and asking onlookers to join us as we go.

Sponsored by United College Employees of FIT.

This event is part of the 1863–1963–2023 Project: Civil Rights in FIT’s Neighborhood, which documents the anniversaries of two pivotal events in U.S. civil rights history that took place near or on the FIT campus.

This event is for the FIT community; meet on West 27th Street in front of the Feldman Center Lobby at 10:30 am.
