Guilty or Innocent? The Trial of Sacco & Vanzetti

Video

Sacco & Vanzetti

"The day a slumbering but awful God,
     Before time to eternity is blown,
Examines by the same unyielding rod
     These images of His with hearts of stone—
These men who do not die, but death decree,
    These are the men I should not care to be!"

       From “Not Sacco and Vanzetti”
    by Countee Cullen

"If two innocent men have been electrocuted under order of the American courts, much as I love my country and always shall, ... I will do anything I can to make the martyrdom of these men a burning, living protest against the injustice practiced in the name of modern jurisprudence!"~ "Sculptor Gutzon Borglum, creator of the Mount Rushmore presidential sculpture in South Dakota."
