White Nationalists Reappear in Charlottesville in Torch-Lit Protest
The prominent white supremacist Richard B. Spencer was a featured speaker at a rally on Saturday in Charlottesville, Va.,
where demonstrators reprised their chant of “You will not replace us!” and asserted that the South would “rise again.”
The gathering, which occurred eight weeks after a “Unite the Right” rally resulted in the death of a 32-year-old woman, was
considerably smaller than the one in August, instead resembling a group of protesters who descended on the park in May.
A video posted by Mr. Spencer showed dozens of people — mostly men in white collared shirts — marching with lit torches through downtown Charlottesville
toward Emancipation Park, where a statue of the Confederate general Robert E. Lee remained under a tarp while it awaits removal.
