Summary:The town of Cicero, near Chicago, was once famous as the refuge for Chicago gangsters of the 1920's. On September 2 1966, crowds of its citizens chanted and jeered at 200 civil rights demonstrators who were marching through the town, demanding equal rights in housing. It took more than 2,000 police and National Guards to protect the marchers from a barrage of bottles and eggs and attacks with clubs.
