Ep #9: When the American Dream Goes Up in Flames: Triangle Shirtwaist Fire | Dark History Podcast

Hi friends, happy Thursday! Welcome to the Dark History podcast. Today, we are going to talk about the Triangle Shirtwaist Fire, where 146 garment workers lost their lives. This tragic story lives at the intersection of greedy capitalism, immigrant exploitation and social justice. Workers fighting for basic rights found themselves fighting for their lives. I appreciate you for coming by, and tune in next week for more dark history.
