Skokie aide calls swastikas,
Nazi uniforms ‘violent acts’
A Skokie official said Friday
that Nazi swastikas and
“storm trooper” uniforms are
not an exercise of free speech
but “have the force and the effect of a violent act upon many
thousands of people in Skokie.”
Village Atty. Harvey M.
Schwartz made the comment
before a U.S. 7th Circuit Court
of Appeals panel reviewing a
U.S. District Court decision to
strike down three ordinances
aimed at prohibiting a planned
march by Nazis in the heavily
Jewish suburb.
Judges Wilbur F. Pell Jr.,
Robert A. Sprecher and Harlington A. Wood Jr. are expected to rule on Skokie’s appeal
within three weeks. On Friday,
the courtroom was packed
with spectators as arguments
by attorneys for both sides
were heard.
David Goldberger, an attorney for the American Civil
Liberties Union, which is representing the Nazi group, argued that the stricken ordinances w e r e unreasonably
broad.
“There is no way for a speaker or communicator to know
what is legal or illegal,” he
said. Under the ordinances, he
said Polish jokes might be a
violation and newspapers and
television stations could be
prosecuted for showing pictures of the march because
they also would inflict “trauma” on the viewers.
He argued that “this (Nazi)
assembly would be permitted
in virtually any other place in
the United States . . . except
the Village of Skokie.”

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.
