In 1927, Nicola Sacco and Bartolomeo Vanzetti, two Italian immigrant workers in the U.S. and anarchists, were executed in the electric chair following a trial rigged from start to finish. With a whole host of false witnesses—bribed or threatened—cops following orders who also took pleasure in hunting down immigrants, a fundamentalist and narrow-minded prosecutor, and a cynical governor whose avowed political strategy sought to create the greatest possible division among all those exploited by a capitalism temporarily booming on the eve of the 1929 crash.
