On the weekend of August 11-12, 2017, hundreds of right-wing extremists descended on Charlottesville to protest the planned removal of the city’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 “You will not replace us,” and “Jews will not replace us.” 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. | |
