More than 100 people gathered at a Charlottesville city park Sunday for a rally on the anniversary of the clashes in Charlottesville that left three people dead — the start of the protests and rallies in the Virginia city and Washington, D.C., where participants of the “white civil rights rally” is expected to be met with groups of counterprotesters. Protesters and police officers clashed on the street where 32-year-old Heather Heyer was killed a year ago during the violent Charlottesville demonstrations between the white nationalists and counterprotesters. A memorial also sits on the street, which has been renamed in honor of Heyer. The demonstrators, who gathered in Washington Park earlier in the morning, marched to “Heather Heyer Way” about a mile away. Some marched while linking arms. Chants such as “Old Jim Crow, new Jim Crow, this racist system has got to go” and “cops and Klan go hand in hand” were heard from the group. Police officers on motorcycles were seen moving behind the demonstrators, a sign of the increased security in the city to prevent another violent and deadly day. In Washington, D.C., counterprotesters gathered in Lafayette park across the street from the White House ahead of the “white civil rights rally,” a demonstration by the white nationalists.
