Execution of Sacco and Vanzetti is protested at the Boston Athenaeum.

August 23, 1927

A message decrying their execution is inserted into each magazine at the library. It reads, “On this day Nicola Sacco and Bartolomeo Vanzetti, dreamers of the brotherhood of man, who hoped it might be found in America, were done to a cruel death by the children of those who fled long ago to this land of Freedom.”
