The fire was believed to be the result of the company's undermining of garment union attempts to improve working conditions. The city refused to release the unidentified bodies for a public procession, fearing expressions of outrage, and instead buried the bodies quietly in Brooklyn. A large parade organized by the union took place on the same day with almost 400,000 people attending. A memorial statue appeared at the graves in December 1912. Possible sculptors, including Evelyn Beatrice Longman and Henry Bacon, are discussed. Class differences in the approach to memorials are discussed. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: Y dt: @attributes: year: 2009 holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
