As we come up on the 100th anniversary of the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory fire, PBS is airing a special tonight on the deadliest workplace accident in New York’s history. By the time the fire burned itself out, 146 people — mainly young immigrant women — had died. Frances Perkins, FDR’s labor secretary, witnessed the fire firsthand on March 25, 1911. It galvanized her and kick-started her tireless work advocating workplace reforms.
The special will air tonight at 9pm, and more information can be found here. Watch the preview:
