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