On Nov. 3, 1979, a caravan of Ku Klux Klansmen and American Nazi Party members pulled out weapons and killed five people protesting at an anti-Klan march in Greensboro. Ten people were injured, and the police were nowhere to be found 鈥� even though they knew a violent attack was coming.
The Greensboro City Council voted 7-2 on a resolution that includes both a formal apology and details about an annual scholarship program that awards $1,979 to five graduates of Dudley High School in memory of the five victims.
