Neo-Nazi March vs. Jewish Suburb: Freedom's Worst Parade Ever
Back in the late 1970s, NPR's Scott Simon took a nostalgia trip to a neighborhood showdown that reads like a history book’s awkward footnote: a neo-Nazi group demanded the First Amendment right to stroll through a predominantly Jewish Chicago suburb.
