- Description:
- This October 2, 1981 article by Wendell L. Rawls Jr. of The New York Times discusses findings by the Institution for Southern Studies that there was an alliance between law enforcement officers and the defendants in the murder case regarding the death of five Communist Workers Party members at the Death to the Klan march in Greensboro on November 3, 1979. Informant Edward Dawson is specifically mentioned, and the report states the Greensboro police were aware of the potential for violence before the rally occurred. The report also criticized the unsuccessful prosecution by District Attorney Mike Schlosser.
