- Description:
- In this November 5, 1979, article from the Greensboro Daily News, staff writer Stan Swofford reports that Nazis as well as Ku Klux Klan (KKK) members were involved in the November 3, 1979, shootings in Greensboro in which five members of the Communist Workers Party (CWP) were killed at a an anti-Klan rally. Howard Covington, head of the Nazi party in North Carolina says in the article that he gave members permission to attend the rally, but that they were not to be armed nor in uniform. Covington further states that the goal of the Nazi party is a "white America" and that he believes that he could have prevented the shootings if he had been at the rally.
