                <text>&lt;p&gt;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. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Visit &lt;a title="Attempted Nazi March in Skokie" href="https://skokiehistory.omeka.net/exhibits/show/attempted-nazi-march/timeline"&gt;Skokie Public Library's online exhibit&lt;/a&gt; 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.&lt;/p&gt;

              <text>An unidentified male speaker stating that he is proud of President Albert J. Smith and he believes that Smith will be remembered as "one of the great human beings." He goes on to say that you cannot always control events and that there are people who, though they are law-abiding, non-violent people, will sit down at the Village Hall and let happen what will happen. An unidentified male speaker suggests that if the neo-Nazis are to stand on the steps of the Village Hall, that members of Village government, and survivors of the Holocaust are also allowed to stand on the steps alongside them.</text>
