Reply #22: Neo Nazis gunned down members of the CWP [View All]

[libnnc]

in a black neighborhood in broad daylight. The police did nothing.

"The Greensboro massacre occurred on November 3, 1979 in Greensboro, North Carolina. It was the culmination of attempts by the Maoist Communist Workers Party (CWP) to organise industrial workers, predominantly black, in the area. Five CWP marchers were killed. They were: Sandi Smith, a nurse and civil rights activist; Dr. James Waller, president of a local textile workers union who gave up his medical practice to defend workers; Bill Sampson, a Harvard University graduate in the school of divinity; Cesar Cause, an immigrant from Cuba who graduated magna cum laude from Duke University; and Dr. Michael Nathan, chief of pediatrics at Lincoln Community Health Center in Durham, NC, a clinic that helped children from low-income families"

And the whole nine minutes of the event were broadcast on the evening news. It was horrible, frightening film. I was a kid but I remember.
