About Sacco & Vanzetti
Nicola Sacco and Bartolomeo Vanzetti were two Italian anarchists, wrongfully tried and convicted in 1920 for the armed robbery of the Slater and Morrill Shoe Company in Braintree, Massachusetts. They were executed by the electric chair seven years later. In 1977—the 50th anniversary of their execution—Massachusetts governor Michael Dukakis issued a proclamation that the two men had been unfairly tried and cleared their name.
This postcard is sized at 3.5″ x 5″ and printed digitally on 130# Classic Crest natural cover stock (100% post-consumer recycled). Comes as a set of 5 in a clear plastic sleeve.
