Title
Board Meeting, [57] June 19, 1978, Citizens' Comments: Corporation Counsel Harvey Schwartz, David Rosensweig (part three of four)
Abstract
Following a statement from Corporation Counsel Harvey Schwartz regarding crowd control perimeters for an upcoming neo-Nazi rally in front of Skokie Village Hall, David Rosensweig objects to the fact that counter-demonstrators will not be allowed on the steps of Village Hall. President Albert J. Smith counters that it is the duty of the Skokie officials to uphold the law and that if people are coming to the counter-demonstration, "looking for a riot, then Sol Goldstein and Al Smith have failed." Smith goes on to say that a riot is what the neo-Nazis want and that "the whole country has us on trial" and that the Village's response to the demonstration will be closely watched. He speaks further at some length. An unidentified man speaks briefly, at the end and Sol Goldstein continues in the next audio clip.
