Lauren Rodriguez walked into her next class, putting her bag down on the desk in the front. She picked up a piece of chalk and began to write on the board. "Anarchists," she wrote. Then she went to take attendance before continuing.
"On April 15, 1920, two men were robbed and killed during a company payroll transport. A few weeks later, the police arrested Nicola Sacco and Bartolomeo Vanzetti. Other than the fact they were Italian, which the witnesses said the killers were, and owned guns similar to the ones used in the robbery, all the evidence against the two was circumstantial. Many believe they were convicted because they were non-English immigrants or Anarchists..."
Lauren was a history teacher, and Lonna Tran had been one of her students...one who was particularly disinterested in the subject matter.
Meanwhile, Lonna Tran was sitting in science class, a subject she liked infinitely more. As she sat there, she had the oddest feeling she knew this lesson. It seemed familiar. She shook it off. She'd probably just read something about the topic before.
