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.

Some more facts: 1) most of the immigrant employees were relatives. Mother’s and ALL her daughters were frequently hired together. 2) remember the escape option to the roof? Nay nay. Isaac and Max not only used the staircase to the roof, AND locked it, but kept the key in one of their pockets. 3) Women were leaping to their deaths before the fire department came. 4) some survivors kept diaries which were shared publicly. More than one wrote about watching their friends and relatives literally melt. One made it to the elevator and closed the door on her sister. She never forgave herself. 5) When the bodies of the dead were brought to the pier, they were laid on the ground squished next to one another and were displayed in their grotesque burnt remains. Husbands and families came day after day hoping to find their loved ones by jewelry that hadn’t been destroyed, unique shoes, or ahead of its time: dental work or missing teeth. 6) There were actually 4 elevators. Only 1 worked. 7) 36 people died in the elevator shaft just jumping down to avoid the heat. 8) As people were jumping to try to survive, many fell on hoses and slowed down the firefighters trying to do anything. 9)Some of the dead on the pier had been grave robbed -had their jewelry stolen before their families could claim them. 10) There are lots of sites and lists of the dead, but the PBS Documentary I felt was the most informative and had tons of photographs and newspaper images to expand on Bailey’s story. About 14 years ago, I worked on a college research project about this tragedy. I still feel connected to it. Thanks Bailey for informing a new generation.

The term gilded actually refers to a covering of gold paint in order to transform a material like metal or iron into a prettier alternative. The gilded age is supposed to mean that there was an illusion of great wealth and prosperity at this time in society because of industrialization, but in reality the quality of life for most people was very poor.

Hi! I actually studied this case specifically in college and wrote a thesis paper on it as well! This was an amazing episode, probably my favorite yet. Just a couple of things to add on for those extra interested history junkies :) ... 1) children from ages 5-15 were often urged (practically forced) to work in these factories as well to 'build character, respect, and obedience' 2) a majority of the women who were targeted for work were unmarried, young women. Often, their fathers would be contacted and offered an 'opportunity' for their daughters...as you can guess, the majority of them happily agreed to send off their little girls (12-22 years) and the women were unable to get out unless they married a man (women weren't allowed to work when they were married back then) 3) The fire escapes were closed out of paranoia that the women would steal the textiles and supplies for their personal use at home...they were also closed so that women couldn't use a cigarette smoke break as an excuse to escape their work duties 4) the women (and a few progressive men) who protested were actually brutally harassed, beaten, and even killed by police & other authority figures who were HIRED to do so by Harris and Blanck so they could speed up the process of 'coming to an agreement' for work conditions 5) during the fire, workers crammed large groups of people into the elevator to try and escape. Sadly, the power to the elevator was cut (either on accident by the fire or on purpose by the security guards, we are still unsure) and tens of workers were burned alive. when recovery efforts proceeded the fire, groups of workers were found in the elevator box and at the bottom of the elevator shaft holding hands and hugging each other

They named it the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory because the area they were located in of the building was the shape of a triangle. The shirtwaist blouse also gave a triangular form style. The building was once named The Asch Building after the developer Joseph Asch. Today, it is named the Brown Building, but because of this tragedy it is still widely referred to as The Waist Factory/ The Shirtwaist Factory. 😁

@dianemauer6185 4 ай бұрын

The owners of the Triangle plant had a second plant called Diamond Shirtwaists. It is so sad that this had to happen. Harris and Blanck like so many other sweatshop owners would have their buildings torched if they were losing money. It was easier to collect the insurance money than design a new garment. They received $400 per dead worker while they paid the families $75.

SO!!! Here's the tea. Not only were Lisa Frank workers treated horrendously... The company ripped off of a neuro-divergent woman of color. The woman is Amina Mucciolo of Studio Mucci. She's an artist who had made an apartment she lived in into what she called Cloudland - which took off with a following on social media. To make a long story short; The Lisa Frank company had interacted with her, liked her posts on instagram even; and shortly after her landlord wouldn't accept her and her partner's payment to renew. Why? Because Lisa Frank was opening a rip-off of Cloudland in a near by location to rent to people. So basically they not only ripped off of an artist of color, they got her kicked out of her home as well. And she had to scramble to find another place to live. You can look it up and read all about the tea.

Btw, after rewatching Crazy Ex-Girlfriend (s 1 ep 4) Rebecca comments on the Triangle Shirtwaist Fire…. Since I have seen Bailey’s Dark History episode, I understood the reference! I’m soooo happy to be learning and remembering these historic events (concerns) that were not always mentioned nor known. I know these episodes are getting frustrating to talk about (we can’t change the past but we can do better for the future), please know you make a huge difference by giving voices, empathy and empowerment to the victims and survivors of these stories. People are learning a lot and bonding over so many different topics and cultures. Thank you Bailey!!!!

When I was about 11 I read a book called “Of Bread and Roses”. It’s all about this tragedy from a fictional character’s point of view, being a young woman caught in the fire. While it may be more geared towards kids, it’s a great read to get some historical insight.

We learned about this in my high school American History class. I've been fascinated ever since. My teacher used this as a transition into Women's Suffrage. He felt that it was a big jumping point for the movement, and I kinda agree. If the women protesting would've been taken seriously, this could've ended differently!
