#OnThisDate August 22, 1902 - Contentious Justice

The Execution Of Nicola Sacco And Bartolomeo Vanzetti Remains A Stark Symbol Of The Intersection Between Justice, Prejudice, And Political Turmoil In Early 20th Century America.

Convicted Of Murder During A 1920 Payroll Robbery In South Braintree, Massachusetts, Sacco And Vanzetti, Both Italian Immigrants And Anarchists, Were Sentenced To Death Amid Widespread Accusations Of Judicial Bias And Anti-Immigrant Sentiment.

Their Trial, Presided Over By Judge Webster Thayer, Was Marked By Controversial Proceedings And Questionable Evidence, Fueling Protests And Debates Around The Globe.

Despite Global Outcry And Doubts About Their Guilt, The Two Men Were Executed In Charlestown State Prison, Solidifying Their Case As A Pivotal Moment In The History Of American Civil Liberties And Social Justice Movements.
