- Description:
- This flyer presents the complicated evidence and time line of court cases related to the murder of five Communist Workers Party members at the Death to the Klan march in Greensboro, North Carolina, on November 3, 1979. Six Ku Klux Klan members or affiliates who were allegedly involved with the murders were tried and acquitted in 1981. The flyer champions support for a federal grand jury to investigate the original trial as a violation of civil rights. The flyer outlines what happened at the original march, information about the five individuals who were killed, the involvement of local police and federal agents, and a related trial held in Asheville, North Carolina, in 1981. The flyer was sponsored by several organizations including People United, The North Carolina Chapter of the National Lawyers Guild, and Those United to Fight Fascism.
