RESOLUT'ION ON UPHOLDING AMERICAN STANDARDS IN SKOKIE, ILLINOIS
At this time when we see in our midst the spectre of Naziism, and when a l l loyal and right-thinking Americans are united |
in their revulsion to the Jack-boots of Nazi storm troopers
whose marching over our land is the very antithesis of all that
we cherish, we call upon the authorities responsible for public
safety to assure its maintenance.
Even as the first amendment
protects those whose beliefs we must abhor, so we must also protect the right of peaceful assembly and demonstration for the
vast majority who, in the true spirit of American freedom, desire to stand together with all the citizens of whatever religion, race or creed to testify to the democratic and just values
for which America has been united.
We need to make known to the world the noble traditions of
the American way which w i l l surmount the deep affront and assault
to our sensibilities that the Nazi march in Skokie inflicts on
all of us. Therefore, we look to you to uphold our American
standard.

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>
