Progressive comments

Progressives sought reform, not revolution. I knew that they wanted to reform the workplace, living conditions, politics and the cities, however I found it very interesting that they were doing nothing to help the black community. When I think of progressives, I think of people who want to help people and make the world a better place for everyone, including blacks so I was very surprised to read that nothing was being done to help them. I also found the Triangle waist company fire interesting. I remember learning about it in middle school, but only briefly. Its shocking that the doors were locked from the outside, especially in a factory where anything could go wrong and people would need to evacuate. Many lives were taken too early that day from locking the doors.
