Qaddafi and Libya / Triangle Factory Fire
In the News: This week we take a look at the North African country of Libya as well as its leader, Colonel Muammar el-Qaddafi, who has been in power since 1969.
Also In the News: March 25th was the 100th anniversary of the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory fire that claimed the lives of 146 immigrant workers. According to the ILR School at Cornell University, this incident continues to have great significance because “it highlights the inhumane working conditions to which industrial workers can be subjected. To many, its horrors epitomize the extremes of industrialism.” Visit the ILR School Kheel Center’s site for more resources on the fire.
