The Facts of Forsyth County v. The Nationalist Movement:
County ordinance provided for fee of up to $1,000 per day for parades, demonstrations, assemblies, etc. on public property. The county administrator granting the license determined the amount. The Nationalist Movement, a private organization, proposed to conduct a rally on the courthouse steps on a Saturday afternoon to oppose the federal Martin Luther King, Jr. holiday. The county imposed a $100 fee. The Nationalists did not pay the fee or hold the rally, instead it instituted action against the county in United States District Court asking for an injunction to prevent the county from interfering with the organization's plans. The District Court refused to grant such relief, ruling that the fee was based solely on content-neutral criteria of the actual costs incurred. A panel of the U.S. Court of Appeals reversed, holding that the ordinance violated the First Amendment. The case then went to the Supreme Court.
