- This letter to the editor was drafted by Greensboro citizen and Communist Worker Party member Nelson Johnson just before he was arrested in July, 1981. In this letter Johnson explains his status as a political prisoner and describes his beliefs about government involvement in the events surrounding the murder of five Communist Workers Party members at the Death to the Klan march, on November 3, 1979. A note added by his wife Joyce Johnson encourages citizens to join her in front of the jail for a peaceful watch.
