Biographical History
Nicola Sacco (1891-1927) and Bartolomeo Vanzetti (1888-1927) were two Italian-born laborers and anarchists who were tried, convicted and executed on August 23, 1927 in Massachusetts for the 1920 armed robbery and murder of a pay-clerk and a security guard in Braintree, Massachusetts. The case was and still is controversial because of questions regarding Sacco and Vanzetti's guilt or innocence, and whether they received a fair trial.
Scope and Contents of the Collection
