Nicola Sacco and Bartolomeo Vanzetti were convicted of murdering two men during a robbery attempt in South Braintree, MA, on April 15, 1920. The two were sentenced to death. Many people believed these men were wrongly convicted and demonstrations were staged protesting their convictions. The FBI became involved with this case when it came to its attention that these groups were making plans to take action against U.S. government officials in order to influence state officials to overturn the conviction of Sacco and Vanzetti.
