The Sacco-Vanzetti Project
Groups who wish to participate can contact s-vproject@dante.com for
info.
For this occasion The Dante Alighieri Society of Massachusetts has initiated
the Sacco - Vanzetti Project to reconsider this landmark case as fully
and as
clearly as possible.
It has invited many interested institutions to collaborate.
The primary mission of the Project is to make important Sacco-Vanzetti
archives accessible to scholars and to the general public, to explore
the
case for its effects upon American society, and to institute educational
programs based upon these materials.
During the year 2002, other public events such as lectures, educational
programs, dramatic presentations and slideshows will also be held
within many different contexts to promote a fuller understanding of
the
Sacco-Vanzetti Case. The year will culminate with a conference at the
Boston Public Library to reconsider the influence of the Sacco-Vanzetti
Case upon American society and world history.
These events will be fully discussed with collaborating groups.
Groups who wish to participate can contact s-vproject@dante.com for
more
information.
Collaborating Institutions include Dante Alighieri Society, Boston
Public Library, Harvard University Law Library Center for The Study
of Italian History and Culture at University of Massachusetts-Boston,
