Frases de Bartolomeo Vanzetti

Bartolomeo Vanzetti , inmigrante italiano residente en Estados Unidos, fue un activista político de corte anarquista.

Fue ejecutado el 23 de agosto de 1927 junto a Nicola Sacco al ser declarados culpables del asalto y homicidio del pagador de una fábrica, Frederick Parmenter y su escolta, Alessandro Berardelli, en el pueblo de South Braintree, Estados Unidos, el 15 de abril de 1920.

En 1977, una investigación ordenada por el entonces gobernador de Massachusetts, Michael Dukakis, estableció que Sacco y Vanzetti no recibieron un juicio justo. Dukakis proclamó el 23 de agosto de 1977 como el Día en Memoria de Sacco y Vanzetti , con el propósito de remover todo estigma de sus nombres. No recibieron un perdón póstumo, pues hubiese significado adjudicarles culpabilidad.[1]​[2]​ Wikipedia

Bartolomeo Vanzetti: Frases en inglés

“That last moment belongs to us — that agony is our triumph.”

Statement attributed to Vanzetti by Philip D. Stong, http://www.powys-lannion.net/Powys/America/S_V.htm a reporter for the North American Newspaper Alliance who visited Vanzetti in prison in May of 1927 shortly before he and Sacco were executed.
Contexto: If it had not been for these things, I might have lived out my life talking at street corners to scorning men. I might have died, unmarked, unknown, a failure. Now we are not a failure. This is our career and our triumph. Never in our full life could we hope to do such work for tolerance, for justice, for man's understanding of man as now we do by accident. Our words — our lives — our pains — nothing! The taking of our lives — lives of a good shoemaker and a poor fish-peddler — all! That last moment belongs to us — that agony is our triumph.
