All of the defendants were acquitted by an all-white jury. In 1984, nine Klansmen and Nazis were acquitted in a federal civil trial, again by an all-white jury, although during the grand jury proceedings that led to the second trial, one Klansmen had pleaded guilty to firing the first shot.[4] The second trial jury accepted the defense argument that the assaults by the defendants were not based on racial animus, but on hatred of communism

In 2009, the Greensboro City Council passed a resolution expressing regret for the deaths in the march. In 2015, the city unveiled a marker to memorialize the Greensboro Massacre. On August 15, 2017 and again on October 6, 2020, the Greensboro City Council formally apologized to the victims for the massacre.

I guess, it is okay then
