Skokie eyes changes
in Jewish counter-rally
By Phillip J. O’Connor
Skokie officials have been quietly trying
to change plans for a counterdemonstration
in Skokie during a planned Nazi rally next
Sunday to keep the two groups at least a
few blocks apart.
Village officials acted at the urging of
state officials seeking to reduce the chances
of violence during the Nazi demonstration in
front of the suburb’s Village Hall.
Tentative plans for the peaceful counterdemonstration, which the sponsoring Jewish
umbrella group expects to draw 50,000 persons, call for holding an outdoor meeting at
one of the three public high schools in
Skokie.
The counterdemonstration is scheduled to
end with a march to the Village Hall, where
125 to 150 leaders of the counterdemonstration plan to read the names of Nazi holocaust victims and to recite prayers.
IT IS THE MARCH to the Village Hall,
while the uniformed Nazis are still demonstrating, that state officials oppose because
they believe it could trigger violence.
The counterdemonstration is currently
scheduled to be held at Niles East Twp. High
School, located three blocks from the Village
Hall. Law-enforcement officials said they
would prefer using Niles West High, about
eight blocks away.
Another possibility mentioned by officials
would be to change the time of the counter-

demonstration so that the Nazis and counterdemonstrators would not be acting at the
same time.
PRESIDENT ALBERT J. SMITH of Skokie
Said he has been assured by Gov. ThompSon’s office that the state police and Illinois
National Guard will be available if needed.
Tyrone C. Hahner, director of the Illinois
Department of Law Enforcement, when
asked about security plans, said, “We’ll have
as many men as necessary to keep the peace.
If that means state police and National
Guardsmen, so be it. We have several alternate plans set up.”
Nazi leaders said again Sunday that the
might call off the Skokie rally if they win
favorable ruling Tuesday from U.S. District
Court Judge George N. Leighton, permitting
them to hold rallies in Chicago parks at will
without posting insurance liability bonds.

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.
