{"value"=>"<p>Arranged chronologically and dealing with Pesotta's activities as a garment worker, general organizer for ILGWU, vice- president of ILGWU, and as an organizer for the CIO. This sub-series also throws light on her involvement in the anarchist movement and her efforts with others on the left to prevent the execution in Massachusetts of Nicola Sacco, and Bartolomeo Vanzetti; her support for Republican Spain; her activities as a spokeswoman for the union rank and file; and her fund-raising activities on behalf of the State of Israel. Among the notable correspondents in this section are Luigi Antonini (a dress presser and a key figure in the history of ILGWU and the development of the union's organizing strategy), Alexander Berkman (anarchist ideologist), Fannia Cohn (ILGWU organizer and official), David Dubinsky (long-time ILGWU official, and co-founder of the American Labor Party), and Nicolo Sacco and Bartolomeo Vanzetti.</p>"}
