Board Meeting, [09] April 25, 1977, Citizens' Comments: President Albert J. Smith

President Albert J. Smith gives an impassioned and sometimes difficult to discern speech stating that he would hope that after twelve years of serving the community of Skokie that he would "let no stone [go] unturned" in seeking possibilities to prevent the neo-Nazi demonstration in Skokie, that the Board of Trustees will support him, and that he was elected to uphold the law. He asserts his support of Israel.

Smith says, "We're not going to tell anyone our game plan, because that would be foolish. We're not going to tell anyone--even our own people. Because somewhere, somehow, that game plan might get back to these people. But if you know me at all...you have to know that I will do everything in my power to protect the rights, the dignity of our community here in Skokie... [and that the Village government] will be doing everything within our power to protect your best interests."
