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.

Editor's Column
David J. Singer
The headline read,
""Court Forbids Nazi
Marches." Yesterdays paper? No.
Last week? No. Last
month or a few
months ago. No! This caption appeared
in the Chicago Tribune in September
1966. That's right, eleven years ago.
Rabbis at all the suburban houses of
prayer made the announcements at their
pulpits. The American Nazi party has
sent notice to the press that they
would march in front of synagogues on
Rosh Hashana and Yom Kipur and pass
out literature.
EDITOR'S
NOTEBOOK
They came from New York and California
and many of the states inbetween to
ride the publicity trains to Skokie
promising to "break heads if the Mazis
march" in the village.
Smelling blood and action the TV
cameras were on the ready. Photographers cleaned their lenses. Reporters received their assignments.
Th^re promised to be meat on the table
and all the origanization wanted in on
this festive occasion. Halls were
crowded to standing room only. Speakers
had their full say about freedom of
speech. Lawyers reread the constitutional rights.
Sitting in their Rockwell Hall on the
South Side of Chicago the Nazi splintei
group, unrecognized by the national
organization, gave out press releases,
eagerly printed by all publications
from coast to coast.
During all this time one organization the Jewish War Veterans of the United
States, the militant voice of
America Jewry, the Skokie Post Jewish
War Veterans with a membership of 500,
the largest post in the middle-west
were observers and cooled it.
Why give publicity and recognition to a
group of stragglers numbering about
20, some of them paid hirlings.
Every day brings the Nazis in the news.
They have gathered reams of publicity.
They appear on TV. The Nazis have
proved that violence gets headlines.
The Illinois Jewish War Veterans will
have an Action Committee. The memoership will be kept posted.
Laiis Kutner represented the Jewish War
Veterans. Rockwell served as his own
counsel.
Less than a year later, August 25, 19&7
George Lincoln Rockwell the leader of
the American Nazi party, the man that
spread hatred and violence and threatened to exterminate Jews was shot and
killed in Arlington, V.A. by one of his
own men.
One could picture the consequences,
bloodshed and broken heads, but the
Rabbis advised: Should they appear
wearing their uniforms and with their
hated swastikas ignore them, go
into your houses of worship, and pray.
But the Jewish War Veterans of Illinoi
took action. They brought a suit before Judge Joseph Sam Perry in the Fed
eral District court banning marching
and demonstrations by the American
Nazis in Jewish neighborhoods in 26
northern counties. George Lincoln
Rockwell was stopped!
Rockwell went to the American Civil
Liberties Union (ACLU) to provide legal
counsel for an appeal. Perry said,
"The constitution protects the right to
worship as we choose." Further, he
said, "The evidence clearly indicates
that these proposed marches are deliberately planned to incite riot and
for the purpose of revenge." He said,
"The demonstrations proposed exceed
free speech and amount to an abuse of
free speech."
This writer would like to see
federal law passed that would make it
criminal for an organization t*o march
and demonstrate wearing- uniforms of a
country we were at war with.
The village officers, administrators,
and the police force deserve credit for
handling a situation with clear heads
which otherwise could have been a
most volitole meeting.
O
Strangest accident we ever heard of Bernice and Irv Stoller, coming back
from a day in Milwaukee, had a horse
without a rider come on the road
around Lincolnshire, and ran onto the
front of their car! Fortunately, only
the car was damaged...Sorry to report
the passing of Frank Rosen's sister.
Our sincerest sympathies to the
families...Once again Morry Ripes. has
donated cartons of bags of peanuts to
be distributed to vets...Dave Finkel
has past 30 years of continous service
on the department level...Harold
Grossman just back from London with
his Sandra, was appointed Department
Inspector by new Department Commander
Sol Schatz. Grossman's job will be to
attend the various posts meetings,^
check their planned programs, see if
they are active, keep a record of their
programs and make recommendations
Phyllis and Morrie Bishof became grandparents and so did Harry and Esther
Poholsky. Our past Senior Vice-Commander, William London was installed as
Sr. Vice Commander of the 6th District
Council of the American Legion September 3rd...Watch for more and varied
refreshments to appear following end ofj
meetings. See ya...

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>

•NBC Memo
Debris MeBain
Mayor Smith:
Per our conversation, attached is
text of Nazi Court Ruling Editorial.
I have set aside tape time for you for
Tuesday, March 7, 1978 at 11:00 a.m.
If there is a problem with this date &
time, please do not hesitate to give me
a call.
If your text is prepared on Monday, it
could be taken down via phone by
me and typed for teleprompter on
Tuesday when you arrive. In any case,
I will need the text by 9a30 a/m
Tuesday.
�Federal Judge Bernard Decker has ruled that Skokie ordinances that
were designed to prevent Nazis from demonstrating in that suburb are
unconstitutional.
One quote from the judge's decision is particularly significant. "It
is better/1 he said, n to allow those who preach racial hate to expend
their venom in rhetoric rather than to be panicked into embarking on a
dangerous course of permitting the government to decide what its citizens
may say and hear."
It is certainly understandable that the people of Skokie, most of whom
are Jewish, find hateful the doctrine preached by the Nazis.
And they are fearful that violence that has accompanied previous
Nazi marches could result in their community. But violence most often
involves two sides. Allowing the Nazis to march in Skokie will result in
no disturbances if they are left alone and ignored.
The idea of a counter demonstration somewhere else is fine. Let the
people of Skokie express their feelings in their own peaceful way.
Naturally they have a right to do that which is protected by the First
Amendment.
• •• •
But, hard as it may be for us to accept the idea, Nazis rights are
protected too.
American freedoms are diminished unless they can withstand the
tough tests, like the question of Nazi punks marching with swastikas
in Skokie.
But as Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes said, the First Amendment
protects free thought — "not free thought for those who agree with us
but freedom for the thought we hate."
(This editorial was broadcast February 25 & 27, 1978.)
