"Facing the Chair: Story of the Americanization of Two Foreignborn Workmen" by John Dos Passos is a gripping story that exposes the unjust treatment of two Italian immigrants, Sacco and Vanzetti, in America during the early 1900s. The story unfolds with their arrest, highlighting the widespread prejudice and fear towards immigrants and those considered radicals. Prominent voices like Anatole France and Eugene V. Debs rise to defend them, but the narrative reveals a justice system manipulated to suppress dissent and maintain the status quo. Through trial recounts and evidence, the story sheds light on the wrongful conviction of Sacco and Vanzetti, aiming to spark a deeper understanding of the challenges faced by immigrant workers and ignite debate on class struggle and civil rights.
