Charlottesville: Five Years Later

On the weekend of August 11-12, 2017, hundreds of right-wing extremists descended on Charlottesville to protest the planned removal of the city&rsquo;s Robert E. Lee statue. The night before the rally, torch-wielding white supremacists marched across the University of Virginia campus, shouting racist, antisemitic rhetoric, including &ldquo;You will not replace us,&rdquo; and &ldquo;Jews will not replace us.&rdquo; The following day, violent clashes erupted on the streets, and a white supremacist murdered counter protester Heather Heyer. The searing images from the weekend shocked the world.
