On March 25, 1911, a fire broke out in the building and due to factory
bosses locking the doors on the 9th floor to keep out union organizers,
trapped workers perished...jumping from windows to their deaths. One
hundred forty six people died that day, some as young as 14. Most of
them women and immigrants. This fire represents a pivotal time in labor
laws and we remind ourselves what we are fighting for every day.
Chris Llewellyn's "Fragments from the Fire"
is an award-winning and poignant account of that day 106 years ago. Now
back in print for its 30th anniversary with historical updates and
contemporary commentary. This volume of poetry and essays keeps the
movement alive for global economic injustice.
