Over 100 students and anti-white supremacy activists took to the streets of Charlottesville, Virginia on Saturday to mark the first anniversary of last year's deadly riots in the city. Last summer's "Unite the Right" rally in Charlottesville, held on Aug. 12 to protest U.S. cities taking down Confederate statues, attracted national attention when white supremacists, fascists and neo-Nazis violently clashed with counter-protesters. A 32-year-old woman named Heather Heyer was killed and 19 others were injured when an Ohio man associated with white nationalist groups allegedly drove a car into the crowd of counter-protesters.
