Robert Morss Lovett Letters
Description:
Walter Pollak was a 20th-century American civil liberties lawyer, who established important precedents while working with other leading radical lawyers in the 1920s and 1930s. Following the execution of Sacco and Vanzetti, the National Sacco-Vanzetti League organized a memorial. The League reached out to prominent figures in various fields. In this letter, Pollack is honored that Robert Morss Lovett has considered him as a potential speaker. This letter and others found in the collection highlight the impact the Sacco-Vanzetti case had on American culture.
