(Gitlin 24). It is soon realized that the media needed the Chicago Freedom Movement as much as the movement needed the media. So as aspects, such as the rise of "black power" and a mutual agreement between the activists and Chicago city Officials were added to the movement; themes such as, coverage on militancy, "disparagement of the movements effectiveness, and emphasis on internal dissension" (Gitlin 27) were added to the already existent frames. .
The height of the Chicago Freedom Movement was in the summer of 1966. It consisted of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and the Southern Christian Leadership Conference (SCLC) along with Albert Raby and the Coordinating Council of Community Organizations (CCCO), which was based in Chicago. The basic goal of the movement was to achieve fair housing through two components: the integration of white neighborhoods and to clean up the slum areas that were occupied by blacks. In August of 1966 The Chicago Freedom Movement was close to an end with the initiating of the 10-points agreement. A New York Times article writes, "The 10-point agreement to end housing bias was reached Essentially the 10 points provide for better implementation and enforcement of fair housing laws, along with increased educational and moral pressure by religious, civic, and union leaders" (Nevard, 1&17). .
The main concern of the Chicago Freedom Movement was equal housing. However, the violence that occurred within the movement became a media focus. On August 14, 1966, 3 civil rights marches took place in white neighborhoods in an effort to end housing discrimination. The next day, a New York Times article titled "Police in Chicago Clash With Whites After 3 Marches" was printed. The third paragraph from the top reads "Police officials said the white crowd numbering about 1,500-2,000 and consisting mostly of teenagers."(Schanberg 1) The next line in bold letters reads "Nazis hold rally"(1), the article goes on to explain the context of the rally and statements that were made by counter-demonstrators.
