Biography
Dorothy Blitz, of Martinsville, Virginia, was one of the Communist Workers Party anti-Klan demonstrators charged with rioting after the November 3, 1979 Greensboro Massacre — the attack in which Ku Klux Klansmen and American Nazis shot and killed five CWP activists at a "Death to the Klan" march in Greensboro, North Carolina. In a striking inversion of justice, the gunmen were acquitted by all-white juries while the wounded and surviving demonstrators were the ones prosecuted. The rioting charges against the demonstrators were dropped in November 1980.
