| Groppi's annotation: "In 1966, Fr. Groppi and the NAACP Youth Council conducted demonstrations at the all-white Milwaukee Eagles Club. The National Guard was called out in Wauwatosa because of the march. About 16 judges belong to the racist organization in violation of the state judicial code of ethics. Fr. Groppi must constantly appear before these judges whose homes he has picketed. He was arrested 12 times." |
