Greensboro’s Child

This is footage of the November 3rd, 1979 anti-Klan rally held in Greensboro, NC named, Death to The Klan.

The organization that promoted and held the rally was named the Communist Workers Party (CWP). The people slowly rolling up in the cars are with KKK and Nazi groups from around NC, looking to confront the “communist protestors.”

Five CWP members were murdered on that day, with either the violence or their explicit deaths captured on film. After watching this attack, keep in mind that the Klan members were all acquitted of murder on a self-defense plea, even though this footage was used as evidence in the state trial.

This injustice is exactly why Greensboro is hosting the first Truth & Reconciliation Commission ever within the United States.
