- Description:
- This July 9, 1982, article by Bruce Siceloff of The [Raleigh] News and Observer reports that Daisy Crawford, a union organizer at Cannon Mills, was interviewed by the FBI about her knowledge of five leaders in the Communist Workers Party (CWP) a week before the 1979 Greensboro Massacre. According to Crawford, this interview refutes FBI claims that they were not investigating the CWP prior to the massacre. She also claims that the encounter frightened her to the point where she declined to attend the November 3 rally where the massacre occurred. Crawford had been subpoenaed to testify before the federal grand jury investigating the incident.
