"that agony is our triumph"



August 23, 1927: execution of Sacco and Vanzetti

"If it had not been for these things, I might have
lived out my life talking at street corners to scorning
men. I might have died, unmarked, unknown, a failure.
Now we are not a failure. This is our career and our triumph. Never in our
full life could we hope to do
such work for tolerance, for justice, for man's
understanding of man as we now do by accident. Our words -- our lives -- our
pains -- nothing! The taking of our lives -- lives of a good shoemaker and a
poor fishmonger -- all! That last moment belongs to us -- that agony is our
triumph."

Bartolomeo Vanzetti
