Even though I know the story of the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory fire, the presentation provided for us earlier this evening was incredibly moving. It began at, well, the beginning, taking us from before the Emancipation Proclamation up through our current struggles. The focus was on the sisters that died in the Triangle fire, but the whole production was empowering. Between the slide-show images of labor heroines and labor scenes, the solidarity songs, and the spoken tributes from our living sisters, there was so much to take in.
All in all, it was fantastic. If you weren't there, you missed out.
