Join us to commemorate the unjust trial and execution of Sacco and Vanzetti, on the 84th anniversary of their deaths.

Nicola Sacco and Bartolomeo Vanzetti were Italian anarchists accused of murder in 1920 and put to death in 1927 after a famously biased trial. The pair came to symbolize the bigotry directed toward immigrants and dissenters in America and galvanized a world wide movement in opposition to their treatment. Their struggle is retold in this probing documentary featuring Howard Zinn, Nunzio Pernicone, and others. Discussion to follow
