Nicola Sacco was an Italian immigrant and shoemaker who became widely known for his involvement in a controversial trial in the early 20th century. Along with Bartolomeo Vanzetti, he was accused of robbery and murder in South Braintree, Massachusetts in 1920. The case drew significant public attention and sparked debates about immigration, class, and justice. Sacco and Vanzetti were convicted in 1921, despite a lack of concrete evidence against them. Their trial is often cited as an example of prejudice and injustice in the American legal system. In 1977, the Massachusetts government officially acknowledged the unfairness of their trial, declaring them victims of a biased legal process.
