- Description:
- This is a June 19, 1982 statement from Concerned Citizens of the November 3rd Incident to the Congressional Black Caucus Braintrust on Criminal Justice, detailing the group's concerns over the investigation of the murders of five Communist Workers Party members at the Death to the Klan march, on November 3, 1979. The report mentions the possibility of local law enforcement involvement or negligence, stating that Edward Dawson, a police informant and Klan member, was aware of the Klan members' plans. The U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms, and the Federal Bureau of Investigation are also named in the report, and the impartiality of the Justice Department attorney conducting the grand jury is also called into question. The report discusses a ""pattern"" and ""continuity"" of racial tensions in Greensboro, citing William Chafe's book Civilities and Civil Rights and several recent community issues. The final page consists of a list of supporting documents that were submitted with the report but are not included with this copy.
