- Description:
- This November 5, 1979, article by Martha Woodall and Greta Tilley of the Greensboro Record discusses community reaction within the surrounding neighborhood and elsewhere in the city to the shooting of five members of the Communist Workers Party (CWP) at a Death to the Klan rally in Greensboro on November 3, 1979. Community leaders, including Greensboro City Council member Jimmie Barber and Reverend Curtis Carrington, urged calm and stated that this was not a racial issue. Other residents interviewed expressed shock and fear, wondering if the violence signaled a return to the militancy of the 1960s.
