This flyer promotes a July 21, 1979 anti-Klan meeting in China Grove, NC, following an altercation on July 8 at the China Grove town hall between members of the Ku Klux Klan (KKK) and area civil rights activists. The flyer asserts that the Klan was a tool used by Cannon and Cone Mills administrators to divide workers over race, distracting them from their rights as workers. The Cannon and Cone Mills were targets of unionization efforts by the Workers Viewpoint Organization (later called the Communist Workers Party) and others. The China Grove altercation was a precursor to the November 3, 1979 Greensboro Massacre, a Death to the Klan march where five Communist Workers Party members were killed in the mayhem between protestors, Nazis, and Klan members. The flyer was produced by the China Grove Committee to Smash the Klan.
