We Can Learn from the Greensboro Massacre

A new book called Morningside: The 1979 Greensboro Massacre And The Struggle For An American City's Soul by Aran Shetterly provides a detailed examination, in historical context, of a largely forgotten incident in which KKK and Nazi shooters (some of them veterans of the war on Vietnam), with the complicity of local and federal "law enforcement," shot at black people in Greensboro, North Carolina, killing five, wounding many.
