The Unite the Right rally was an infamous rally initiated by Jason Kessler to advocate for white supremacism, and had many hateful far-right and Alt-Right attendees, most prominently neo-Nazis, neo-Confederates, skinheads, white separatists, neo-fascists, and Ku Klux Klan members. The event was met with numerous counter protesters, ranging from peaceful activists to violent Antifa members. Numerous were injured in the event from clashes. The event most notoriously had 3 deaths, two being in a helicopter crash and one being a counter protester Heather Heyer, who was murdered in cold blood by a vehicle attack.

History edit

Jason Kessler got a permit to conduct the rally by the City of Charlottesville. Initially, it was to take place in what he described as a "field in the middle of nowhere", but it was eventually allowed to be moved to a location Kessler desired, after a lawsuit filed on behalf of the ACLU. 

On the night of August 11, 2017, numerous white supremacists came in abruptly into the field of the University of Virginia, with many wielding tiki torches. Many white supremacist slogans were chanted. Some counterprotestors and protestors got into altercations during this, although they were not as nearly as violent as the ones that would happen on August 12. Eventually, the area cleared at the rally (temporarily) dispersed.

On August 12, 2017, the rally started up yet again, during the late morning. Here, many of the same white supremacists gathered, along with many notable icons of white supremacist movements such as Richard B. Spencer, David Duke, and others. Various religious clergy were counterprotesting by having signs which are meant to advocate for peace, etc.
