We're forgetting the lessons of the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory fire States have been gradually rolling back the protections that activists like Pauline Newman and Clara Lemlich bravely fought for

Today is the 115th anniversary of the Triangle Shirtwaist fire: 148 workers killed, most of them young Jewish immigrant women. Survivors like Pauline Newman fought for child labor protections. The @forward.com asks what it means that those protections are eroding again. forward.com/opinion/8095...

Rioters throw stones in the street in drawing of the Jubilee Riots of 1875

1. St. Patrick’s Day in Toronto used to be so dangerous the parade was cancelled for more than a century.

Here’s the story of the religious hatred and sectarian violence that once rocked our city — back in the days when Toronto was known as "The Belfast of Canada."

Nate Hendley writes all sorts of interesting books, often based on obscure or overlooked elements of Canadian history. In particular, @michaelshotter.com read and enjoyed his account of the sinking of the Landovery Castle and its aftermath, "Atrocity on the Atlantic." Check him out, #booksky! 👇💡📚💙

I want to congratulate Opera Laurier in Waterloo, Ontario, for its brilliant production of the Llandovery Castle opera.

A little-known war crime was turned into a sad, stirring, magnificent piece of music, acting, and staging.

I hope other cities consider mounting their own productions.
