Ever since I attended Dr. Lander’s lecture MIT 7.00x Introduction to Biology, I have been hooked onto the subject.

Up in the [ninth] floor girls were burning to death before our very eyes.” In such a short period of time, all the hard labor people did during their period of work went to waste as…

As I furiously flipped through the Contents section in Brett Lacey and Paul Valentine’s Fire Prevention Applications, pages vacillated hither and thither… hither and yon. Yearning for a topic to leap out and command my attention, I began to grow more and more disquieted. I’ll be candid.

The documentary, Triangle Fire, by Kristin Downey about labor rights in 1911 that took place in New York City. Shirtwaist factory works go on strike on October 4, 1909 for their labor rights.
