A New Film looks at the  process of Reconciliation of the victims in Greensboro.

Adam Zucker's recent film "Greensboro: Closer to the Truth" has its roots in the killing of five worker organizers by the Ku Klux Klan in Greensboro, NC in 1979. The film reconnects with the participants 25 years later - widowed and wounded survivors, along with their attackers - and chronicles how their lives have evolved in the long aftermath of the killings. All converge when the first Truth and Reconciliation Commission ever held in the United States was convened in Greensboro from 2004-2006.

The film was showed at the Boston Film Festival, this past April and has been showed in NC, MA and Texas. For more information about the screenings of the film, visit http://www.greensborothemovie.com

About The Greensboro Justice Fund

Born in the tragedy of the 1979 Greensboro Massacre, the Greensboro Justice Fund is dedicated to the service of all those fighting for human dignity against bigotry in the South today.

The Greensboro Justice Fund assists grassroots organizations in the South working for racial justice, political and economic empowerment, and an end to racist, religious and homophobic violence. We support organizations that are committed to civil rights and are working for social change. Organizations whose members come from traditionally disenfranchised groups are given preference by the Fund.

The Greensboro Justice Fund emerged in 1980 following the Greensboro Massacre, where a car caravan of forty Ku Klux Klan and American Nazis attacked and opened fire on a crowd of one hundred men, women and children preparing for an anti KKK march and conference.

Klansmen shot and killed César Cauce, Michael Nathan, William Sampson, Sandra Smith and James Waller, and wounded ten others. The five who died were young, militant union and community organizers. Although the KKK and Nazis were acquitted by all-white juries in criminal trials, the widows and other survivors successfully sued the Klan, Nazis, and Greensboro Police for wrongful deaths. The City of Greensboro paid the judgment for all defendants. This money, distributed to the widows and survivors, formed the basis of the Greensboro Justice Fund. Through the Fund, the legacy of the five who died in Greensboro lives on in the continuing support of civil rights groups fighting racism, oppression, and homophobia in the South today.
