- Description:
- This November 7, 1979, article, Dwight F. Cunningham of the Greensboro Daily News reports on pleas within Greensboro's public housing communities that future demonstrations such as the November 3, 1979 anti-Klan rally where five members of the Communist Workers Party (CWP) were killed, be kept way from their homes. Resident's councils in all of the city's public housing projects joined in anger to beg that there be no further incidents in their communities. Black ministers Prince Graves and Otis Hairston expressed "apprehension and confusion" over the shootings, with Graves adding that it was not "a racial thing, but we don't yet quite understand it." Local NAACP president George Simkins called for a full investigation.
