Sacco and Vanzetti, 1921-1977, bulk 1921-1928

 Series

Scope and Contents

Series contains tracts, pamphlets, and contemporary commentary on the trial of Nicola Sacco and Bartolomeo Vanzetti, anarchists accused of murder. The 1921 trial and 1927 execution of Sacco and Vanzetti was largely viewed as a political trial, and generated protests around the world. Most of the documents in the series are published by, or in support of, the Sacco-Vanzetti Defense Committtee, including commentary written about the trial and execution by famed poet Edna St. vincent Millay, reprinted as a stand-alone tract. There are also printed lyrics to a French song about Sacco and Vanzetti, and finally, a poster for a film about the trial, made fifty years after the execution. Materials are arranged chronologically.
