8:04Now PlayingFollowing the landmark 1978 case in which the ACLU helped a group of brown shirt (American) N*zis
win the right to march through the Illinois town of Skokie, Frank Collins' National Socialist Party of America instead held a rally in Chicago's Marquette Park.
Former Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel was there that day, and when hosts of The Fifth Column Matt Welch and Michael Moynihan surprised him with footage of a shirtless Rahm in the park, the results were... unexpected. The man Rahm is seen talking to in the footage, Rahm explains, is his deceased father, who he fought with over his decision to protest that day. Emanuel gets quite choked up as he tells Matt & Michael a touching story about that day.
This is an excerpt from a Members Only episode #308 of the Fifth Column.
