The Triangle Shirtwaist Factory in New York was the site of one of the deadliest industrial disasters in U.S. history. The tragedy that occurred there on March 25, 1911, marked a major turning point in labor history and helped establish modern-day workplace safety standards.

Teaching history means asking tough questions and uncovering new perspectives. This fall, NCHE is offering back-to-school webinars to put those ideas into action. Please share so history educators in need of great PD can find the support they deserve. Learn more and register here: buff.ly/WhembxH
