Was there a parade supporting fascism in 1936 or 1937 in Boston?

Answer 1

Fascism in BostonAlas, there were a few such parades throughout the 1930s, and not just in Boston. In New York, pro-Nazi supporters held huge rallies at Madison Square Garden. Charles Father Coughlin, the bigoted "radio priest", had a very strong following in Boston, and the so-called "Christian Front," of which he was a supporter, held events in New York and in Boston. There is a very thorough essay about this; it's by Stephen H. Norwood, called "Marauding Youth and the Christian Front: Antisemitic Violence in Boston and New York During World War II." It's from 2003 in the journal American Jewish History-- I am sure any library could get it for you.
