1137 Erin Street, Madison, 6-8:30 P.M.
We’re commemorating the anniversary of the Triangle Shirtwaist Fire (March 25, 1911) and the (belated) anniversary of the Bread & Roses strike (January 11 – March 14, 1912). The Bread & Roses strike (in the textile mills of Lawrence, MA) united workers of many different nationalities in response to a reduction of women’s working hours and wages.
Find that old cookbook or dig into your grandma’s recipe box: celebrate the history of working class struggle with the food that represents whatever you consider to be your family’s heritage and traditions.
If your ancestral inheritance does not include the struggles of the working class you can bring cake.
After we share a meal there will be a short program about the strike, the fire, and of course, singing.
As we come marching, marching, we bring the greater days
The rising of the women means the rising of the race
No more the drudge and idler — ten that toil where one reposes
But a sharing of life’s glories: Bread and roses! Bread and roses!
