Program Description

Event Details

On December 1, 1958, a fire broke out at Our Lady of the Angels School in Chicago. Ninety-two students and three nuns died in the fire. To mark the 66th anniversary of this horrific event that became the catalyst for changes in fire codes throughout the country, survivor Luci Mordini will give a first-hand account of the events of that day and supplement the showing of the documentary Angels Too Soon with a question and answer session.
