- Description:
- This May 2, 1980 press release, issued by the Communist Workers Party (CWP), announces Greensboro District Attorney Mike Schlosser's request for indictments against six CWP members on rioting charges stemming from the November 3, 1979, Death to the Klan march (also known as the Greensboro Massacre). The CWP accuses the government of blaming the victims of the shooting, and of a cover-up to hide its role in the murders. The CWP demands that charges be dropped, that thirty-five Ku Klux Klan and Nazi party members be prosecuted for their roles in the murders, and that all law enforcement documents related to the event be made public.
