Abstract
This short documentary depicts a September 4, 1966 civil rights march through Cicero, Illinois organized by activist Robert Lucas, head of the Chicago chapter of the Congress of Racial Equality (CORE), to protest housing segregation. White residents of Cicero responded with vitriolic jeers as the police struggled to prevent a riot.
Description
According to contemporary news reports, the march began in Chicago's North Lawndale neighborhood with a rally in Franklin Park at W 15th St and S Kolin Ave. Marchers then proceeded south to 16th St, entering the town of Cicero at the railroad viaduct, turning south onto Cicero Ave, and west onto W 25th St, stopping at the corner of W 25th and S Laramie Ave for a prayer in memory of Jerome Huey, a Black teenager who had been beaten to death at that intersection that spring.

Cicero March is part of a seven part module or educational film series ("The Urban Crisis and the New Militants") produced by The Film Group that, "teach by raising questions rather than by attempting to answer them." The modules tell their story through editing rather than voice-over narration and show "real events, with real people acting spontaneously," as the Group explained to an educational film distributor.

In 2013, Cicero March was added to the Library of Congress' National Film Registry.
