Unite the Right is expected to be the largest white supremacist rally in recent history, reflecting a dangerous surge of extremist ideology in American society.
Residents and city officials in Charlottesville, Virginia are preparing for what may be the largest public gathering of white supremacists in at least a decade.
The so-called “Unite the Right” rally, which is scheduled to take place from 12–5pm on August 12, will bring together a variety of far-right and alt-right extremists, ranging from anti-Semitic and anti-immigrant hate groups to neo-Nazis, white nationalists, neo-Confederates, and members of the Ku Klux Klan, anti-government militias, and newer groups like the Proud Boys, American Guard and the Fraternal Order of Alt Knights.
