Attempted Nazi March of 1977 and 1978 in Skokie
Digitized Document Collection of Skokie Public Library
In addition to items available at Skokie Public Library, we have digitized a collection of newspaper articles and other materials about the attempt of the National Socialist Party of America (Nazis) to march in Skokie, Illinois in 1978. The Library plans to digitize primary documents from this controversy and secondary resources relating to its First Amendment implications.
