CONCERTO CITIZENS OF HIE NOVHBER 3rd INCIDENT

As most of you probably know, the Justice Department is rumored to be
empanelling a grand jury around the November 3rd Incident. Based on all
sources available to us at this time, this seems to be a definite victory
for our efforts to seek justice in this case. Many individuals and groups
have worked to bring justice in the slaying of the five anti-klan demonstrators. Included have been famous actors such as Ed Asner, noted clergy
groups such as the National Council of Churches, and individual activists
and political figures such as Julian Bond and Ben Chavis.
Among those active, the Concerned Citizens of the November 3rd Incident has played a most significant role. No doubt, our recent trip to
visit Representative John Conyers was a big boost to our common cause.
We need to applaud ourselves and make others aware of our efforts and our
successes so far. Our most significant task, however, is to persist in
our efforts.
We cannot comfortably assume that the grand jury will automatically
bring about full justice. In fact, if public opinion for full justice
in this case is not mounted, the grand jury might simply become a cover-
up and a delaying tactic for the civil rights suit; or it might become
the arena for a broad witch hunt of the McCarthy-type against activist
and the CWP.
The Concerned Citizens can play an important role in impacting the
outcome of the grand jury. We are situated right here in Greensboro.
We are broad-based. We have the respect of individuals in our community
and increasingly around the country. We have a good feel for the facts
and social implications of this case.
The committee assigned to organize a mass meeting to report on
our progress to date has discussed this matter and developed the following recommendations:
