    Near closing time on Saturday afternoon, March 25, 1911, a fire broke out on the top floors of the Asch Building in the Triangle Shirtwaist Company. Within minutes, the quiet spring afternoon into madness, a terrifying moment in time, disrupting forever the lives of young workers. By the time the fire was over, 146 of the 500 employees had died. The survivors were left to live and relive those agonizing moments. The victims and their families, the people passing by who witnessed the desperate leaps from ninth floor windows, and the City of New York would never be the same. The images of death were seared deeply in their mind's eyes.…

    “Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere” (King, April 16, 1963) this quote was said by Martin Luther King Jr. Injustice is a synonym of the word unfairness; meaning, that injustice is when people are not being fair. In the cases of To Kill a Mockingbird, The Scottsboro Boys and The Triangle Shirtwaist Fire Injustice was a part of the verdict. In To kill a Mockingbird Tom Robinson was accused of raping Mayella Ewell. In the Scottsboro boys case the nine boys that were found on the train were accused by the two women that they raped the two women. In the shirtwaist fire the women were suing the owners of the building because they locked the women in and there were no exits. The women pleaded and the jury still found the owners not guilty. In the trials the Scottsboro boys, Tom Robinson and The shirt waist fire women were falsely accused of what they did. Each defendant/prosecution was accused for something they didn’t do.

    Dramatic changes happened during the nineteenth century as many industrial factories emerged, but with the rapid growth comes its consequences. Many people left the farmland to come to cities to work in factories. An influx of immigrants coming to America to seek a better life was also found during this Era, but found themselves taking on the low wage and “sweatshop” type work. During this time, there was a lack of federal regulation against the monopolistic companies. The Triangle Factory Fire serves as the pivotal point in women’s rights and labor rights during the Progressive Era in United States history. The documents examine the roles of Progressive reformers in challenging the government to take more control in regulating the workplace…

    America Burning: Review

    • 791 Words

    While all three of the documents listed numerous similarities between them, they also went into depth about some issues that the others did not. Among the similarities noted all three of the documents mentioned fire prevention & education, training, and being accountable. These documents listed the ways that we can educated the public, both young and old on how to prevent fires, in and around the home, school, and office. They stressed the need for fire drills, educational seminars, and site safety programs. At some point all of the documents addressed the need for sprinkles in buildings, both large and small, or wherever you will have a congregation of people. Since these documents have been made public, many communities across the United States have taken a stand and created public safety campaigns, school safety programs, and other means to educate the public on how to prevent fires. The National Fire Protection Association has even established the second week in October of every year as Fire Prevention Week. During this week fire prevention is stressed in almost every community across the US for both the young and old.…
