Dear Sir:
Since the Supreme Court has cleared the way for
the Nazis to march and spread their hate campaign
in Skokie, Illinois on June 25, why don't we
Americans drape our homes in whatever way we can
with black on that day in memory of the 6,000,000
Jews murdered by the Nazis and then hang out our
American flags just to let them know it is not
going to happen hereJ Is it too late to get something like this going on a nationwide scale?
Very truly yours,
(Mrs.) Cleo Gundersen
cci Mayor, Skokie, Illinois
I just wanted you to know that there are
many of us throughout the country, I'm sure,
who feel in deep sympathy with the people of
your city and who keep you in our prayers.

Description
An account of the resource
<p>During the late 1970s, a small group of neo-Nazis based in Chicago attempted to hold a rally in the Village of Skokie, Illinois, a community that was known to have a large Jewish population. Local officials resisted the group’s efforts through by passing a series of ordinances aimed at preventing demonstrations or parades by hate groups. The ordinances were ultimately overturned following a series of state and federal lawsuits because they infringed on the group’s First Amendment rights and the neo-Nazis were issued a permit to demonstrate in Skokie. However, instead of facing the growing number of organized counter-demonstrators, the group held rallies in Federal Plaza and in Marquette Park in Chicago. <br /><br />Visit <a title="Attempted Nazi March in Skokie" href="https://skokiehistory.omeka.net/exhibits/show/attempted-nazi-march/timeline">Skokie Public Library's online exhibit</a> to see the events as they unfolded. The library's digital collection, seen here, includes newspaper articles, editorials, recordings from the Skokie Village Board of Trustees meetings, a memoir written by a local clergywoman, and two documentary films.</p>
