Fuckin Nazis are coming . And in the end they did not come to Skokie or the north side and instead went to a south side neighborhood where their followers were probably from and had met before to listen to the same people who would give Nazi speeches
Marquette Park neighborhood, which had in the past thrown bottles and spit on MLK and his followers when he marched in the area .

Free speech and all that but they picked Skokie to antagonize Jews, not many Nazi followers up there . Black and brown on the south side already knew about Marquette parks racist reputation so it wasn't like they were marching through bronzeville or SouthEastChicago and although the area was changing , everyone knew the area they would march in was full of Nazi types so watch out, and Chicago gave them the OK to march in thier own area
Cicero was another area back then like that yet people were brave to break the color line and try to locate in those south side areas

Still fuckin Nazis marched
Are they still in Marquette Park ? If they are they are miserable Nazis
