  3. Wanted to share an incredible piece of #publicArt that shaped my life – Ben Shahn's "The Passion of Sacco and Vanzetti". This remarkable #mosaic is on an outer wall of H.B. Crouse Hall at #SyracuseUniversity in #SyracuseNY. Sacco and Vanzetti were executed for murder on the flimsiest of evidence in 1927. I walked past this reminder of injustice every day for years.
