i think the majority of greensboro residents had never heard of the cwp. they did not know that they were unionizing -- there were unionizing activities going on and they couldn't have found the location of the shootings without a map. i think the city response -- again, we have to talk in segments -- the official response from the mayor and from any other government spokesman was outraged. these were outsiders who came in to greensboro. they made this terrible thing happened. they provoked the violence. they would suffer the consequences. they denied that greensboro had in any way have any fault in this instance, that the police had done nothing wrong, that there was a lot of confusion about when the parade was to start and where it was to start. i think the media also, except for the television coverage that was there, the media also began an automatic defense of the city . this couldn't have happened here. we did nothing to cause it. the court cases that was on -- re resulted from this, the first was a murder trial. it was the murder of five people. the

murphy originally loaned the collection to the greensboro historical museum and it was his intention to give it to the museum on his death. it was willed to the museum in 2003 and now it's part of our permanent collection. we are starting with a piece that was made by tarpley. this is a piece that was manufactured here. it was one of the most rare and unique pieces in the collection. you can see stamped on here, jeremiah tarpley was the gentleman who applied and received a patent for this design. it was his idea for the design of the rifle in combination with an existing firm was making sewing machines in greensboro that also resulted in the manufacture of this piece. this is number 380, the serial number. it is unusual and its appearance. it is missing a wooden for stock. every other rifle or longer manufactured has a piece of wood that goes along here, and this particular design omitted that. that was one of the design flaws. it got too hot to handle. they weren't very user-friendly. being said, few of these were made, less than 200, and today less than 20 are known to be in existen

the fact that this happened in greensboro gives us an incredible immediate sense of how to interpret and understand what we're going through today. to be able to come to this museum, to go on the tour, to look at the differ exhibits, to hear the re-enactments, to be able to see the photographs ans to have an incredibly personal experience, a very compelling, pro vovegtive -- provocative experience here gives us the courage to say what must we do going snard i think this place provides the contextual information to understand why do we have racial inhe canityies today? why do we have achievement gaps? why do we have overrepresentation in our criminal justice and juvenile justice systems? so we have this place right here where we can put our hands on it and we can come and be not only in that physical place but in that interpretive space. the actions that those young men took on that day and the fact that we were able to memorize that here in this museum -- museum gives us an opportunity to ask ourselves, what is my lunch counter issue? what would i be demonstrating? or if those young m
