The Triangle Fire Memorial

Janes Walk

Led By Adrienne Andi Sosin AND Joel Sosinsky, Remember the Triangle Fire Coalition

NYU’s Brown Building is the site of the 1911 Triangle Fire, dubbed “the fire that changed America.” Today, the building has a steel and stone glass Memorial mounted on its exterior to honor the fire’s victims and the activism it inspired that protects us all to this day. This Jane’s Walk will highlight the features of the Memorial and will share reasons to remember the Triangle Fire.

Accessibility

The location is a few blocks from subway and bus stops. It is outdoors, so weather is a factor. Unless there's a dangerous thunderstorm, this walk/talk will take place.

Location Information

RSVP is required and capacity is limited. Meeting location, ending location, and directions will be provided via email before walk date.
