Communist Workers Party U.S.A

Description

This December 23, 1979 mimeographed letter from the Communist Workers Party (CWP) to its supporters and contacts discusses the November 3, 1979 Death to the Klan march where five protestors were killed, and its after effects, including job firings of CWP supporters. The letter criticizes "well intentioned" clergy members and others who have decried the violence without examination of the source, and suggests that community organizations must work together for justice. Nelson Johnson, author of the letter and CWP spokesperson, offers to meet with groups publicly or privately to discuss the issue.
