THE INTERCHANGE was typical of
many that transpired throughout the
afternoon. After Co.1lin and his follow-
ers arrived the more noteworthy oc-
currences seemed to take place in the
audience and not on the podium where
the brownshirts gathered.
Standing behind a podium encircled
by four rows of police officers,
featured. speaker Frank Collin began
his address under a banner proclaiming
"White Power, Welcome to 1978 and the
white revolution."
"What we want to know is, are you
ready for white power?" he asked the
crowd. "The blacks have been mar-
ching into our neighborhoods for years.
Next time, we're going to march into
the black neighborhoods."
Collin continued speaking in that
vein, characterizing Chicago as "the
worst nigger city I've ever seen," and
blamed blacks for the city's problems.
COLLIN'S VOICE was frequently?
obliterated by the chanting crowd. Fist-
fights and screaming arguments were
not uncommon and the tense crowd
surged toward each altercation,
straining for a release.
"White Power, White Power, White
Power now," screamed a coalition of
youths, many of whom sported shirts
emblazoned with swastikas. "Down
with the Jews, Down With the Jews
resounded ominously through the park.
One of the tattooed youths explained
his purpose in attending the rally and
his support of the White Youth Gang
assemblage: "Niggers.
"JEWISH REAL ESTATE guys buy
our houses and sell them to Niggers.
They are trying to take our park
away."
As thechants of "Jews Go Home"
and "Six Million weren't enough"
picked up momentum the youths joined
in, eagerly raising their hands in a fist
salute, punctuating the beat of the
chants. Ron Kenkat, a Marquette Park
resident in his mid 20's who earlier had
discussed his affiliation with the Nazi
Party, leaned over and gestured toward
the anti-Nazi faction, "These Jews
wouldn't even make good lampshades"
he said. -
.The group'to, which he was referring,
Hatikvah, the Israeli national anthem.
A WOMAN'S VOICE pierced through
the air. "Kill the Nazis, she repeatedly
screamed. "Kill the Nazis."
The anti-Nazi forces began chanting
"Never Again, never Again," referring
to the annihilation of 21 million people
-6 million Jewish - in World War II.
"Jews go home, Jews go home, Nazi
supporters yelled.
"Frank's (Collins) father's a Jew,
You're one of us," the anti-forces
screamed back. The crowd pressed
forward, jostling each other, and the
- tension could be felt in the heat of
sweaty bodies pressing against one
another.
COLLIN'S VOICE became audible in
a momentary silence. "Jews will lead
to the downfall of this country," he
proclaimed. The crowd burst into ap-
plause as he ended his address.
The antagonism the factions felt
toward each other was erupting more
and more frequently into small battles.
Plainclothes police dispersed through
the crowd rapidly surrounded and
broke up these incidents before they
ignited the tense antagonists. But as
one incident would be squelched on the
right another altercation would erupt
on the left.
Gradually the crowd dispersed until
once again the park took on a peaceful
air of summer cool. Scattered clumps
of hangers-on stood by quietly talking.
Many of the extra police squads boar-
ded chartered city busses to leave while
others stood by, waiting for the
remnants of the rally to wander
off.
A young couple stood by surveying
the scene. They both grew up and con-
tinue to live in the Marquette Park
area. Both expressed opposition to the
Nazis and explained the actions of the
crowd. "These guys are just saying,
'We want the Park to stay white," 27-
year-old Xavier Marrique said.
"If the Nazis would leave the people
would still be here. The Nazis are just
an added attraction. Just a sideshow.
These people would still be here defen-
ding their property values. This is the
only- nice Dark left in the citv It's all
