MISSING HISTORICAL PLAQUE FOR SACCO AND VANZETTI TO BE REDEDICATED IN BOSTON’S NORTH END


Boston, November 21, 2007.- On Saturday, December 1st, at 11:30, the Sacco and Vanzetti Commemora¬tion Society will rededicate a historical marker outside the entrance to 256 Hanover Street, the site of the Sacco and Vanzetti Defense Committee’s headquarters from 1925-1927.

In 1976 the City of Boston placed a plaque on the building, located along the city’s Freedom Trail in the North End, in recognition of the historical impact the men’s trial and subsequent execution had on both the nation and much of the world. Sometime in the early 1980’s the original plaque disappeared. Today, the Sacco and Vanzetti Commemoration Society is proud to announce the upcoming unveiling and rededication of a new plaque.

Speakers will include Boston City Councilor Felix Arroyo (confirmed), Former Governor of Massachusetts Michael Dukakis (tentative), and others. There will also be readings from the writings of Sacco and Vanzetti.

256 Hanover Street is located a short distance from the Haymarket T stop.
