The murders that Sacco and Vanzetti were accused of and executed of occurred here where the Slater and Morrill Shoe Company was located. The mall is now where the shoe company was located. The memorial is across the street. No one knows if they were guilty or not.
Sacco and Vanzetti
Nicola Sacco (April 22, 1891 – August 23, 1927) and Bartolomeo Vanzetti (June 11, 1888 – August 23, 1927) were Italian-born anarchists who were convicted of murdering two men during the armed robbery of a shoe factory in South Braintree, Massachusetts, United States in 1920.
