Sacco and Vanzetti are executed.

Convicted of two murders in a 1920 Braintree robbery, the men are sent to the electric chair at Charlestown State Prison just after midnight. Before his execution, Saco declares, “Long live anarchy!” Before his execution, Vanzetti declares, “If it had not been for these thing, I might have live out my life talking at street corners to scorning men. I might have die, unmarked, unknown, a failure. This is our career and our triumph. Never in our full life could we hope to do such work for tolerance, for justice, for man’s understanding of man as we do now by accident. Our words – our lives – our pains – nothing! The taking of our lives – lives of a good shoemaker and a poor fish peddler – all! That last moment belongs to us. That agony is our triumph.” The arrest, conviction, and execution were the subject of world-wide protests, particularly in Boston.
