just as much, if not more, attention than the gathering of white nationalists

One death and many
more injured later, the “Unite the Right Rally” to protest the removal of
General Robert E. Lee’s statue became firmly planted in popular consciousness
well after the band of white nationalists dispersed. Conversation regarding the
significance of the demonstration has continued over a week after the incident.
The demonstration comprised of hundreds of white nationalists from a number of
organizations, all assembled to defend white power. Their opponents, which
consisted of everyone from anarchists and communists, confronted the white
nationalist mob head on. And like a tidal wave, the media narrative that a
white supremacist takeover is flooding the shores of the US has many watching
the scene from afar wondering what to do from here.
