The American Nazi Party represents attitudes antithetica l to the American civil libertarian principles under whose legal umbrella they claim their rights. Their racism is an assault on all humanity, directed particularl y at American Jews, blacks, and others of non-Caucasi an descent. The Nazis' demand to march in Skokie has no purpose other than the exploitatio n of the town's Jewish population, many of whom bear personal scars from World War II Nazi camps, in order to create publicity for their own cause. It is a march devoid of positive social purpose. As Christians, we call on the Christian community to stand in solidarity with our Jewish fellow citizens in this trial. We urge Christians in the area to find appropriate public gestures to express this solidarity with the Jewish community of Skokie and our repugnance toward the Nazi message. Passed unanimously by the faculty of Garrett-Eva ngelical Theological Seminary, Evanston, Illinois, at their faculty meeting on April 17, 1978.

Title A name given to the resource Attempted Nazi March in Skokie, 1977 and 1978, Digital Collection 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.
