Last night, hundreds of white nationalists, alt-righters, and white supremacists gathered at the University of Virginia to for a torch-lit march ahead of today’s “Unite the Right” rally in Charlottesville, Virginia. The rally today is expected to attract thousands at Emancipation Park, where a statue of Robert E. Lee is scheduled to be removed by the city. The Southern Poverty Law Center is describing the rally as the “largest hate-gathering of its kind in decades in the United States.”
During the march last night, protesters were heard chanting “white lives matter” and “blood and soil,” among other things. And, by the end of the rally, the white nationalists had gotten into brawls with counter-protesters, leading to police to break the whole thing up.
