Abstract:
In the longest criminal civil-rights trial in U.S. history, nine Klan-Nazi defendants were acquitted on charges stemming from the 1979 anti-Klan rally in Greensboro. There are four contributing factors that led to the not-guilty verdicts including a conservative interpretation of the federal civil-rights statues, the defense casted the victims as revolutionaries, jury selection did not reflect a cross-section of the community, and defense and prosecution contrasted in experience and style.

Abstract:
According to North Carolinians Against Racist and Religious Violence, since 1982 there have been at least 25 acts of racial intimidation reported in Iredell County. It is not clear why there is so much racist activity in this rural western county, or if it is any different than what may be occurring more quietly in other parts of North Carolina.
