Charlottesville
August 12, 2017
White nationalists carrying tiki torches marched through the University of Virginia chanting "Jews will not replace us." The next day a counter-protester, Heather Heyer, was killed when a young supremacist drove his car into a crowd. President Trump blamed "both sides." The American conversation about race took a darker turn.
