Remembering Triangle families. A portrait of two young women who died in the fire—sisters Lucia Maltese (age 20) and Rosarea Maltese (age 14)—is carried by family members at the 100th anniversary of the Triangle Factory Fire in 2011. Fluttering shirtwaist banners for each of the 146 victims were created by artists in the Remember the Triangle Fire Coalition.
