Columbus WHO?
Sacco and Vanzetti’s trial was officially for murder charges, but the fact that their politics became central to it was no surprise as it came in the midst of
. According to Frankfurter, the duo was already on a Department of Justice watchlist. The lawyers prosecuting the case against Sacco and Vanzetti highlighted their radical and pacifist politics at trial, playing to patriotism and general anti-radical sentiment.
Further, Frankfurter added, there was reason to believe “that the case against these Italians for murder was part of a collusive effort between the District Attorney and agents of the Department of Justice to rid the country of Sacco and Vanzetti because of their Red activities.” Sacco and Vanzetti were found guilty in 1921, but their case took years to work through the courts. Even though, as Frankfurter points out, it was learned during that time that there was ample evidence an outlaw band known as the Morelli gang were the true culprits, it wasn’t enough to convince any judge that another trial was needed. As noted by
, the debate over whether or not one or both of them were guilty lingered after their executions, but there is a historical consensus that a second trial should have been granted.

Columbus Day Protests Once Again Erupt As Nation Struggles With Its Dark, Anti-Italian PastWASHINGTON—In a continuation of decades of attempts to improve relations for the historically marginalized group, Columbus Day protests once again erupted across the United States Monday as the nation continues to struggle with the darkness of its anti-Italian past. “Unfortunately, ever since Italians have had a presence in America, we have been treated like second-class citizens. No matter how much progress we make, there’s still a strong anti-Italian sentiment in America, and every year, Columbus Day reminds us just how far we still have to go,” said Benedetta Rizzo, current head of the Italian-American Anti-Defamation Society, claiming that the numerous anti-Columbus Day protests around the country demonstrate how Italian-Americans have not yet seen the end of such slurs such as “guido,” “dago,” “guinea,” “wop,” “Tony,” “papist,” “ginso,” “greaser,” or “polenta-eater” and, in many regions, still live in fear of racially motivated attacks. “I remember hearing my parents tell stories of being teased in the school cafeteria for having slices of Italian pizza pie in their lunch boxes. It’s unconscionable that even today, so many people join anti-Italian demonstrations. These are still frightening times for Italian-Americans. There are still people out here who treat us like we’re filthy Irish animals.” Rizzo added that the IAADS would be holding a candlelight vigil later tonight in honor of the Italian-Americans who lost their lives as a result of Columbus Day violence.
