On Saturday, August 23rd, Boston will remember the 81st anniversary of the execution of Nicola Sacco and Bartolomeo Vanzetti, two Italian immigrants and committed anarchists whose trial is widely regarded as one of the greatest miscarriages of justice in American history. Calling attention to the continued repression of immigrants and radicals, the Sacco and Vanzetti Commemoration Society (SVCS) invites all to attend and participate in the third annual march and rally.
[The trial inspired poets and writers {Edna St Vincent Millay, Upton Sinclair, Howard Fast, Katherine Anne Porter}, painters {Ben Shahn /painting and murals/, Diego Ribera}, musicians {Joan Baez /video/, Ennio Morricone /video/} and filmmakers {Giuliano Montaldo /video 1, video 2, video 3/, and Peter Miller /video/.
The letters of Sacco and Vanzetti, edited by Marion D. Frankfurter and Gardner Jackson, are published by Penguin]
