INSTITUTE FOR SOUTHERN STUDIES REPORT: THE THIRD OF NOVEMBER On November 3, 1979, television cameras from four stations recorded in awesome detail the killing of five communist demonstrators by members of the Ku Klux Klan and Nazi Part Six men charged with first-degree murder were tried by an all-white Their acquittal one year later did: erase the videotapes which show them calmly unloading their weapons from a car trunk, running after victims and firing, in some cases, at point-blank range. Some people choose to believe the jury learned things about that day which the rest of us don't know, some evidence that established the innocence of those charged. Others would like to forget the incident altogether. Copyright © 1981, Institute for Southern Studies, P.O. Box 531, Durham, NC 27702
