THE CITY OF GREENSBORO
SPEAKS OUT!!
On December 1, 1981 the Concerned Citizens
of the November 3rd Incident, a newly
formed coalition of organizations and individuals in Greensboro, held a press conference
announcing its intention to "bring before the
U.S. Justice Department, the Congress, the
Senate, and the nation the strong support for
the need for federal prosecution of the
perpetrators of the November 3rd murders in
regards to the violations of civil liberties of
the slain and the community." The coalition
includes representatives from the following
Greensboro groups: NAACP; the Black
United Front; the Pulpit Forum; the American Friends Service Committee; the Communist Workers Party; Citizens for Justice and
Unity; Greensboro Justice Fund; People
United Against Gov't Repression and the
Klan/Nazis; Triad Citizens Concerned for
Central America and others.
Mr. Charles Davis, spokesperson for the
group, pointed out that the broad-based unity
represented by the coalition is something new
to Greensboro. It speaks to the need for
people and groups to join together in their
efforts to seek justice.
The coalition's efforts include a Greensboro
petition drive, seeking resolutions from the
City Council and the Human Relations
Commission in Greensboro, Radio and T.V.
talk show appearances, seeking support from
local pastors, and a visit to the Justice Department and Rep. John Conyer's office. A
public mass meeting is planned for the future.
