New issues in Skokie
In a letter to you, Louis Kutner notes that
he was involved in a suit against a neo-Nazi
demonstration in 1966 and that the "legalistics” of the current Skokie dispute are not
necessary because that suit solved the questions.
The suit to which Kutner refers (Jewish
War Veterans v. American Nazi Party) involved a neo-Nazi picket line that was to
surround a synagog on Jewish holy days.
The dispute in Skokie, of course, centers
around a public demonstration on a weekend
afternoon in front of the village hall. The
facts in the two cases are barely related at
all, and for that reason the courts have found
Kutner’s suit and its result to be of little
assistance in the Skokie case.
While it is true that one can and often
does control another, that is not the situation
in this instance. Kutner may be puzzled by
the "legalistics" of Skokie, but the courts
clearly are not. Frustrating though it may
be, new issues require new court scrutiny,
and that is precisely what is happening in
the Skokie litigation

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>
