Summary "Labor's Martyrs: Haymarket 1887, Sacco and Vanzetti 1927" by Vito Marcantonio is a historical account that reflects on two pivotal events in the American labor movement. Written during the early 20th century, the book focuses on the consequences and legacy of the Haymarket affair of 1886 and the controversial trial and execution of Italian immigrants Nicola Sacco and Bartolomeo Vanzetti in the 1920s. Marcantonio aims to illuminate the struggles of labor activists and highlight the harsh realities faced by those advocating for workers' rights against a backdrop of systemic injustice and political repression. The book explores the lives of the Haymarket martyrs, who were executed for their involvement in an eight-hour workday movement that was met with brutal repression, as well as the more recent sacrifices made by Sacco and Vanzetti, who were wrongfully convicted amid rampant anti-radical sentiment and xenophobia. Through detailed narration and impassioned language, Marcantonio paints a portrait of these figures as embodiments of the ongoing struggle for social justice and labor rights, arguing that their legacies continue to inspire contemporary efforts against oppression. The work serves as both a tribute and a call to action, intending to galvanize readers towards renewed activism in defense of workers' rights amidst the historical and ongoing challenges faced by the labor movement.
