The execution of Nicola Sacco and Bartolomeo Vanzetti in 1927 became a symbol of the perceived injustice in the American legal system, particularly regarding the treatment of immigrants and political radicals. Despite widespread protests and claims of a biased trial, their execution highlighted issues of xenophobia and class struggle during a time of social upheaval. The case galvanized labor and civil rights movements, ultimately serving as a rallying point for discussions about fairness, justice, and the rule of law in America. Their legacy continues to resonate in debates over justice and equality today.
