On Nov. 3, 1979, Klan and Nazi Party members killed 5 labor and community organizers in Greensboro. 40 years later, survivors want to share lessons learned.

Sunday was the 40th anniversary of the Greensboro massacre, when members of the KKK and American Nazi Party "without any seeming fear or worry" killed five people and injured 10 others in Greensboro, North Carolina. "The police were nowhere to be found," says Dr. Marty Nathan.
