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.

Anti-Nazi groups hedge on march plans
By Bob Olmstead
and Harry Golden Jr.
A coalition of 42 civil rights, religious and
community groups condemned nazism
Thursday but could not agree on whether to
counter-demonstrate at a Nazi rally scheduled Sunday in Marquette Park.
At a press conference in the Pick-Congress
Hotel, the coalition endorsed a statement
pledging “to work together on an on-going
basis to see the end of nazism and related
evils throughout the Chicago area.”
In individual statements, representatives
of the groups took positions ranging from
advocating a counter-demonstration even if
city and park permits are not granted to an
appeal for everyone to stay home and ignore
Frank Collin’s Nazis.
BILL WATKINS, a spokesman for some
groups supporting a march, said they “are
still committed to a demonstration” which
will assemble at 71st and Hamilton at noon
and then march to Marquette Park.
Said Watkins:
“We would like to ask the following
question to the people here today: Why is
there a different agenda for Marquette Park
than there was for Skokie? It appears that
the West Englewood-Marquette Park community has been abandoned.
“We are appealing to the 100 leaders who
stood so firm in Skokie to stand with us
today.”
The Nazis had planned a rally in Skokie
on June 25, but canceled it after a federal
court judge ruled that the Chicago Park
District must allow them to rally in Mar-
quette Park without posting an insurance
bond. A coalition of anti-Nazi groups had
planned a massive counter-demonstration in
Skokie.
Among those who said they would take
part in the counter-demonstration at Marquette park were spokesmen for Operation
PUSH and the South Side branch of the
National Assn. for the Advancement of Colored People.
A spokesman for the Southwest Parish
and Neighborhood Federation said, “There ‘is
no more support for the Nazis and nazism in
Marquette Park than there is in Skokie.”
However, he pleaded, “If the rally does have
to take place, we appeal on behalf of the
children, the old people, the good people of
Marquette Park, leave it to the Nazis.
“Do not play into their-hands and make it
a battleground for crazies.”
Others said they would hold meetings
Sunday afternoon outside of Marquette Park.
Leon Finney, spokesman for The Woodlawn Organization, said his group and others
were trying to find an available nearby
church to hold a meeting deploring nazism.
MEANWHILE, Mayor Bilandic at a press
conference at City Hall expressed hope that
the U.S. Supreme Court would step in and
block the Nazi rally in Marquette Park.
The Park District, he said, is asking the
high court to delay the march until an appeal
on the constitutional question of the insurance bond is heard.
The mayor added that he is in constant
communication with Police Supt. James 0.
O’Grady on preparations for the rally.

Sixty Jewish leaders voice ACLU support
SIXTY PROMINENT Jewish business and professional people have issued a statement in support of the
American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU).
The ACLU has been experiencing serious disaffection among its membership because of its legal defense of the Nazi party’s right to march in Skokie.
The Nazis were originally prevented from marching in the village by a Cook County Circuit court injunction which the group appealed to the Illinois
appellate court.
The appellate court ruled that the Nazis could
march in Skokie, wear their uniforms and distribute
literature but it would not lift a ban on the display of
the swastika. The Nazis have appealed the ban to the
Illinois supreme court which will hear the case on
Sept. 20.
THE ACLU has also filed suit in federal district
court to overturn three Skokie ordinances passed in
May requiring a $350,000 insurance bond from any
group interested in marching in Skokie and probhiting
both demonstrations by individuals wearing military
style uniforms and the distribution of any material
which incites group hatred. No date has been set for a
hearing.
Among the signers of the statement were former
Circuit Court Judge Abraham Brussell, Journalists
Daniel Schorr and Nat Hentoff, labor lawyer Joseph
Rauh, Jr., Ald. Martin Oberman (D-43d), writer Studs
Terkel, publisher Bruce Sagan and two past presidents
of the CHicago Council of Lawyers, Arnold Kanter and
Judson Miner.
The text of the statement on behalf of the ACLU
was the following: “No organization in the U.S. has
fought more vigorously and consistently to protect our
freedoms under the bill of rights than the ACLU, which
is presently under attack for its representation of the
Nazi party.
“We loathe the Nazis and are disgusted by all that
they stand for. But as Americans, and especially as
Jews, we recognize the paramount importance of preserving the rights of free expression- we recognize, as
does the ACLU, that the rights of individuals are inextricably tied to the rights of all. The ACLU has fought
and won many battles to protect the rights of Jews and
other minorities.
“TODAY, THE ACLU is facing serious defection of
long and valued supporters because of its difficult position of representing the Nazis. As a result, there is a
real danger that the ACLU’s ability to carry on its vital work in the future will be crippled. While the first
amendment issue in the present case has yet to be decided by the courts, regardless of the outcome, we as
Jews and as Americans, stand firmly behind the ACLU
as an institution of great merit and importance for us
and for all Americans.”
Other signers of the statement who noted that they
stood unanimously behind the principle of the statement although not every person agreed with every
word were the following: Mike Alexandroff, educator;
Miles Berger, businessman; Nancy Bloom, businesswoman; Milton Cohen, attorney; Ron Dorfman, journalist; Alex Elson, attorney; Monroe Friedman,
former dean, Hofstra university law school; and Ruth
Bader Ginsberg, professor of law, Columbia university.
ALSO SIGNING the statement were: Sharon Glazer, attorney; Renee Hanover, attorney; Aram and
Judy Hartunian, attorney; Herbert Hazelkorn , dentist; Mrs. Herbert Hazelkorn; Harold and Linda Hirshman, attorneys; Burton Joseph, attorney; Norman
Leaf, businessman; Mrs. Norman Leaf; Daniel Levin,
businessman; Robert Lifton, businessman; Alfred Lipton attorney; Paul and Margaret Lurie, attorneys; Richard Mandel, attorney; Lewis Manilow,
businessman; Michael Maremont, businessman,; and
Ronald Miller, attorney.
Other signers were: Edward Neisser, businessman; Bonnie Oberman, editor; Eugene Pekow, businessman; Robert Plotkin attorney; Diane Poncher,
civic leader; Don Rose, journalist; Marvin Rosenberg,
businessman; Edward Rosenheim, professor of English, University of Chicago; Frank Rosenthal, educator; Marshall Rosenthal, journalist; June Rosner,
businesswoman; Bettylu Salzman civic leader; Stanley Scheinbaum, philanthropist; Milton Shadur, attorney; Geoffrey Stone, professor of law, University of
Chicago; Joel Sprayragen, attorney; Gardner Stern,
Jr., businessman and civic leader; Stanley Weinberger, attorney; Sydney Weisman, businesswoman; and
Carlton Zucker businessman.
