of the City Commission
FROM: Roger M. Ca
City Manager
SUBJECT: SPECIAL EVENTS APPLICATION: WHITE AWARENESS UNITY RALLY
BACKGROUND:
On March 29, 1993, Mr. Hank Pritchard, representing the South
Florida Society for the Advancement of White People, submitted a
Special Events Application for an event entitled "White Awareness
Unity Rally". The application requests an event on Saturday,
April 24, 1993, between 4:00 p.m. and 6:00 p.m. at the Holocaust
Memorial. This request for a "political speech" is submitted under
Section 39-7 of the Code of Ordinances which establishes the
responsibility of the City Administration to issue permits under
certain conditions. Section 39-7 is attached as Exhibit 1 and the
application is attached as Exhibit 2.
The decision required of the City Manager in this situation is
extremely complex. First and foremost, it is the responsibility to
protect residents and visitors to our community as well as public
and private property. Secondarily, it is the responsibility of the
City Manager to protect the rights of individuals or groups under
applicable federal, state, county and municipal laws including the
First Amendment to the United States Constitution.
While Mr. Pritchard's behavior reflects a practice of abusing the
privileges granted under the First Amendment, which he has clearly
demonstrated in Davie, Hollywood, and now the City of Miami Beach,
a Pavlovian municipal denial to his media-based tactics would not
only be inappropriate, but also would present the City with
potential legal costs, as well as increasing the publicity
Mr. Pritchard seeks.
This Administration has followed a careful deliberative process to
reach a conclusion regarding the Special Events Application. Of
deep concern is the substantial emotional and physical impact on
individuals concerned with the sanctity and dignity of the
Holocaust Memorial. Further, I am required to protect the rights
of individuals and groups no matter how abhorrent their beliefs and
statements may be. As your City Manager, it is most important that
the decision-making process be documented and understood by all
parties concerned.
In order to fully understand the concerns of all parties relative
to the issuance of the Special Events Permit, a series of meetings
have been held by the City Manager and the City Attorney. one
meeting included the leadership of the Holocaust Memorial
Committee. It is important for both the journalists who will be
covering the story and citizens who will take positions as a result
of my decision to understand the enormous emotional significance of
the Holocaust Memorial to survivors as well as relatives of
survivors.
1
Special Events Application April 14, 1993
The Holocaust Memorial is a symbolic cemetery for more than 30,000
people whose names are inscribed on the wall. These names include
sons and daughters, parents and siblings whose remaining relatives
do not know where their family members were taken or where they
died. To allow a desecration to occur in any form, be it physical
or verbal, would be akin to permitting the gravestones of the
family of any person to be defaced. There are not sufficient words
to describe the emotional and physical trauma which Holocaust
survivors have suffered and the measure of relief which the
Holocaust Memorial provides to alleviate their suffering. This
incontrovertible fact weighs heavily on me in making a decision,
and the members of the Holocaust Memorial Committee have impressed
me with the need for reverence for the sanctity of the Holocaust
Memorial as a work of art, learning center, and cemetery for
victims who have no other final resting place.
Nevertheless, we live in a democracy which survives and renews
itself by the protection of individual rights no matter how
offensive or absurd the exercise of those rights may be. It would
be simple to deny Mr. Pritchard's request on the basis of its
content because he is guaranteed to offend the overwhelming
majority of our community. To better understand the First
Amendment and its implications as well as the manner in which other
municipalities have dealt with similar situations; a meeting was
held on April 5, 1993, with various legal experts, former municipal
attorneys and others who were keenly interested in the issue at
hand. The result of the meeting (see Exhibit 3 for list of
attendees) was to create a clear understanding that my decision
regarding the permit request must be based on irrefutable evidence
that Mr. Pritchard's requested event presents a clear and present
danger for people and property. If this conclusion is reached, the
only action which may be taken is to limit the time, manner and
place in which the event is held and certainly not the content.
On April 9, 1993, Chief Deputy City Attorney John Dellagloria, Fire
Chief Braniard Dorris, Police Chief Phillip Huber, Senior Assistant
city Manager Ed Cox and I met with Mr. Pritchard and his associate,
Mr. Czerr. The summary minutes are attached hereto as Exhibit 4.
At no time during that meeting was the content of Mr. Pritchard's
request discussed other than information he volunteered. The line
of questioning related to security concerns for the demonstrators,
the public and the Holocaust Memorial.
Readers of this memorandum should further understand that First
Amendment situations have presented themselves twice in my career.
As Director of the City of Miami Off-Street Parking Department, I
was required to determine the requirements for the rental of Gusman
Center for the Performing Arts to Minister Farrakan, whose track
record of virulent anti-Semitism and racism was well documented.
In addition, as Chairman of the Bass Museum Board of Trustees, it
was my responsibility to determine if the film "My Friend, Fidel",
would be shown. There was a serious potential for offending the
Hispanic segment of our community and putting the art treasures
contained in the Bass Museum at risk. The minutes of both meetings
in which the permits were discussed by the Off-Street Parking Board
and the Bass Museum Trustees, Board of the Friends and City
Commissioners, respectively are attached hereto as Exhibits 5
and 6.
Further, as a child, I remember hearing experiences of family
relatives who liberated concentration camps at the close of World
War II. I distinctly remember pictures of the camps being shown to
only the men at a dinner party because the pictures were viewed as
being too horrible to show the women and children. It is also
important for the reader to understand that one of my roommates
during college was the son of two Holocaust survivors and the
2
I
special Events Application April 14, 1993
tatoos on their forearms were clear evidence of the trauma they
experienced.
Therefore, from the meetings documented above and career and
personal experiences, I am in a position to render a decision based
upon research and input from many segments of our community.
Rationality, concern for the security of our City and the Holocaust
Memorial, as well as the protection of the First Amendment rights
of Mr. Pritchard and his organization have all weighed heavily upon
my decision.
CONCERNS RELATED TO COMMUNITY SECURITY AND PROTECTION OF THE
HOLOCAUST MEMORIAL:
Mr. Pritchard has specifically requested to speak within the
Holocaust Memorial in the area between the low chains (near the
street curb) and the pool. He proposes to use a portable lectern
and speak for approximately 30 minutes. He alleges that the
Broward County Sheriff's Office has been requested to provide
security for his trip through Broward County because he is fearful
the vehicles transporting his approximately 50 to 100 supporters
will be identified and snipers may shoot at them from I-95 bridges
on their return trip. He may request a police escort from the
Holocaust Memorial to the Dade County line. Review of the minutes
of the April 9, 1993, meeting with Mr. Pritchard will clearly
demonstrate that he is concerned for his own safety as wail as his
supporters (Exhibit 4) .
Further, in a meeting held April 12, 1993, with the Holocaust
Memorial volunteers who staff the facility, it was made clear by
meeting attendees that Mr. Pritchard's activity, which they view as
a desecration, will cause such significant emotional reaction that
the volunteers and many others will not predict their behavior,
including almost certain physical violence against Mr. Pritchard
and his supporters.
It is also important to understand that additional individuals or
groups have announced their intention to counter demonstrate or to
demonstrate on behalf of Mr. Pritchard. As an example, Mr. Bob
Kunst has submitted a Special Events Application under the name of
Shalom International. The specific language of Mr. Kunst in his
news update of April 8, 1993, "A March to the Holocaust Memorial,
where we will take on the KKK") (Exhibit 7) reflects the real
potential for violence being created by the event.
It is important also to differentiate between a White Supremacist,
KKK or Neo Nazi march on public streets in Davie, Hollywood, Skokie
or Eatonville and the request to speak within the confines of the
Holocaust Memorial within a very few feet of a priceless work of
art which could not be replaced.
Further compounding the difficulty of this situation is the
scheduled International Tile Exposition, which will bring
approximately 5,000 visitors to the Miami Beach Convention Center
who will be leaving during the time requested by Mr. Pritchard.
Since April 24, 1993, is the last day of the exhibition,
approximately 45 tractor trailers will be waiting to remove the
exhibits. The International Tile Exposition has also rented the
large parking lot west of the Miami Beach Convention Center for its
exclusive use (Exhibit 8) .
Finally, Mr. Pritchard's own actions since our meeting demonstrate
that he is seeking to incite violence. On April 9, 1993, within
minutes of our meeting, he proceeded to engage visitors to the
Holocaust Memorial in intentionally inflammatory debate over the
existence of the Holocaust. References were made to tatoos and
3
Special Events Application April 14, 1993
eventually one of Mr. Pritchard's followers was spat upon. City of
Miami Beach Police intervention was required to control the
situation. In a similar manner, Mr. Pritchard again attempted to
incite Holocaust Memorial visitors and staff on April 12, 1993.
He used a racial slur to describe the manager of the facility. The
City of Miami Beach Police Incident Report relative to the April 9,
1993, event is attached as Exhibit 9.
TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF SPECIAL EVENTS PERMIT:
Based upon my review of the broad spectrum of input provided by
diverse groups of both proponents and opponents of the permit
request as well as Mr. Pritchard, I have reached the conclusion
that a clear and present danger exists to the citizens of Miami
Beach, our visitors and the Holocaust Memorial itself. This
conclusion is supported by the recent documented activities of
Mr. Pritchard as well as the warnings of responsible individuals
who state categorically that they give no guarantee regarding their
behavior.
Countering the clear and present danger documented in this
memorandum and its exhibits is the need to protect the First
Amendment rights of Mr. Pritchard and to avoid costly and
protracted litigation which has to the best of my knowledge never
resulted in the denial of permits in other jurisdictions.
The following reasonable conditions relative to time, place and
manner will apply to the permit:
1. The event will be held between 4:00 P.M. and 6:00 p.m. on
Saturday, April 24, 1993, as requested by the South Florida
Society for the Advancement of White People.
2. The requested "political speech" will be permitted as
requested by Mr. Pritchard. He may use a lectern and
amplification so long as the volume does not exceed the
decibel level required in the city of Miami Beach Code which
is uniformly applied to all outdoor events.
3. The permit will be granted for the area east of the Garden
Center located at the southwest corner of Dade Boulevard and
Convention Center Drive. This area is approximately 400 feet
from the Holocaust Memorial.
4. The normal requirement of a $1.0 million insurance policy will
be waived for this event. The sum of $25,000 or its
equivalent must be posted no more than 72 hours prior to the
event to cover actual clean-up costs, security and other
related municipal expenses. This is required solely to cover
actual municipal expenses in the event that Mr. Pritchard's
speech does not occur when scheduled since the municipal work
crews must be paid due to existing union contracts. Should
the event occur without damage to the public property, the
entire monies will be reimbursed. By way of information, the
estimated cost of the normally 'requested $1.0 million
insurance policy is $2,500. Should Mr. Pritchard demonstrate
that he or his organization is unable to pay the required
costs in advance, the requirement may be wholly or partially
waived.
5. The required $5o.00 permit submission fee, $150.00 permit
issuance fee and completed signed application forms must be
submitted no later than April 16, 1993.

Special Events Application April 14, 1993
SUMMARY AND CONCLUSION:
The City of Miami Beach is blessed with a diverse and tolerant
population. our community has proven its capacity to handle
controversial situations in recent times without succumbing to the
hatreds and demagoguery which have torn the fabric of many other
communities.
By the very fact of this tolerance, abuse is invited in a free
society. Perhaps it is not. by accident that the very first
amendment to the Bill of Rights guarantees freedom of speech.
Nevertheless, the framers of the Constitution and the Bill of
Rights never anticipated the likelihood of expansive media coverage
or the evolving court interpretations which allow limits on free
speech only to relate only to place, time and manner and to clear
and present danger, no matter how abhorrent the content.
As your City Manager, it is my sincere hope that all citizens will
understand and support the difficult decision which has been
reached. It is my further hope that First Amendment supporters
will accept the rational, deliberative and balanced process of
listening to all viewpoints, which has led to the reasonable time,
manner and place limitations imposed upon the permit approved for
this event. No politicization or demagoguery has influenced my
decision and I wish to thank all responsible individuals for their
restraint and understanding.
