The 2005 Toledo riot, on October 15, 2005, occurred when the National Socialist Movement (NSM), a self-described 'pro-white' organization, planned a march to protest African-American gang activity in the North End of Toledo, in the U.S. state of Ohio. The appearance of the group is alleged to have sparked a four-hour riot by elements within the assembled protesters, and caused a citywide curfew to be implemented for the remainder of the weekend. A militant anti-fascist organization Anti-Racist Action helped to assemble the counter-demonstration.
