COMMUNIST WORKERS' PARTY
The Communist Workers' Party condemns attempts by the state and city governments
the S.B.I., and the F.B.I, to promote and permit a motorcade by the Nasi Party through
Greensboro on April 19. This motorcade is clearly in reaction to the resounding success
of the February 2 civil rights demonstration here. To allot? this motorcade is consistent with the governmnet's failure to arrest or even pursue over half of the murderers
who gunned down 5 trade unionists and community activist in broad daylip.ht in the Greensboro streets on November 3. Even those few Klansmen and Nazis arrested are now out
on ridiculously low bails free to parade shamelessly in the streets, and even run for
public office. Nazi leader Harold Covington's recent announcement for State Attorney
General only brings out in the open the existent corruption, depravity, and pro-fascist
character of the governmnet on all levels. Covington has set his sights on the Attorney
General's office because that puts him, and his favorite governor, Jin Hunt, In the
best position to pardon the Nazi murderers ofi Novenber 3. This ludicrous possibility
is completely consistent with District Attorney Michael Schlosser's continuing attempt,
to cover-up and whitewash the murdere. Schlosser has continued to attack the CWP,n<a-
king clear his priority is not to prosecute those bloody assassins, but to frame conmu-
nity leaders like Nelson Johnson for the murders of their own beloved friends.
This Nazi motorcade Is an affront to all decent, freedom-loving people, and is
an insult to the 5 murdered on November 3. Those 5 led lives dedicated to strugglin'-
for a better future for all of us. Four of them, Jim Waller, Sandie Sni±h, Cesar Cauce,
and Bill Sampson, were active, respected trade union organizers. The fortnywas a dedicated pediatrician serving poor and working class patients. The government arranged and
allowed their brutal murders. To now allow their murderers to parade in the streets
under the guise of ''First Amendment Rights" is indeed an insult to any citizen x;ith
even a trace of decency.
WE CHALLENGE THE CITY, STATE, AND FEDERAL GOVERNMENT to subject the Hani and Klan
scum pledged to mobilize April 19 to the same spying, threats, harassment, and intimidation with which they victimized the CUP, the Feb. 2 Coalition,, and the mourners at
the funeral march on Nov. 11. We challenge the governmnet to tap their phones, fellow
them,block their attempts to rent a rally site, arrest them for publicizing the event,
and have them and their ■ sympathizers fired from their jobs. The government should
go door to door in the communities and on campus, as they did before the Feb. 2 march,
and threaten people with being shot, or at least investigated if they attend. We
further challenge the city to declare a state of emergency on April 19, and then point
the guns and bayonets of the National Guard and police at the heads of the Nazis, as
they did to the funeral marchers on Nov. 11. But even if these murderers, assassius
and hate mongerers manage to drum up some few depraved scum to rally April 19, the
government will pamper, escort, and protect them from the righteous outrage of the people
in this city. But this only underscores the frantic efforts of the governmnet to use
fascists like the Klan and Nazis to split the working class and pave the way for world
war III.
