Original Lead: National Socialist Party of America v. Village of Skokie, 432 U.S. 43 (1977),[1]arising out of what is sometimes referred to as the Skokie Affair,[2]is a United States Supreme Courtcase dealing with freedom of speechand freedom of assembly. Related court decisions are captioned Collin v. Smith[3]and Smith v. Collin.[4]Although summarily decided on procedural grounds, the necessary implication of the Supreme Court's 1977 NSPAdecision — not directly stated in the unsigned, 5-4 per curiamopinion itself[1]— is that a group's request to engage in a parade or demonstration involving public display of the Nazi swastika is a symbolic form of free speech that is at least presumptively entitled to First Amendmentprotections. In other words, the Court's decision implies that First Amendment protection would not be denied to use of the swastika as a form of "fighting words". Three of the four dissenters stated their agreement with the majority's position that First Amendment protections were applicable to the NSPA's challenge to the Illinois injunction. (Only Justice Whitedid not join that statement.) By requiring the state court to consider the neo-Nazis' appeal without delay, the U.S. Supreme Court decision opened the door to allowing the National Socialist Party of America to march.
- Plan: Look at Strum, Downs, and Delgado's arguments about the opinion and its implications of the case as well as what the dissenters said. Reword third sentence to make more concise.

Original Background: In 1977, Frank Collin, the leader of National Socialist Party of America, announced the party's intention to march through Skokie, Illinois. Skokie was home to a significant number of Jewish people, many of them survivors of the Holocaust.[5] Originally, the NSPA had planned a political rally in Marquette Park in Chicago; however the Chicago authorities blocked these plans by requiring the NSPA to post a public safety insurance bond and by banning political demonstrations in Marquette Park.
On behalf of the NSPA, the ACLU challenged the injunction issued by the Circuit Court of Cook County, Illinois, that prohibited marchers at the proposed Skokie rally from wearing Nazi uniforms or displaying swastikas. The ACLU was represented by civil rights attorneys David Goldberger[6] (later a professor at Ohio State's law school[7]) and Burton Joseph.[8][9] The challengers argued that the injunction violated the First Amendment rights of the marchers to express themselves.
- Plan: Give more details about what happened. Already edited the sentence about the demographics of Skokie. Want to clarify timeline about Marquette park. Will also provide more details about events leading up to the first injunction filed by the Village of Skokie.
Edits: [Here insert details about Marquette Park]. In October 1976, Frank Collin sent out letters to the park districts of the North Shore suburbs of Chicago, requesting permits for the NSPA to hold a white power demonstration. Skokie Park District was the only district to reply, stating that Collin would need to post a ___ bond. Before sending this reply, Skokie Park, realizing they had not mechanism to stop Collin, had passed a resolution to raise the amount of money needed to hold such a demonstration. Collin used this resolution as an opportunity to file a lawsuit against the Village of Skokie for infringing upon his First Amendment rights.
