Organized white supremacists mobbed Charlottesville to protest the fact that the city is taking down a statue of Robert E. Lee. This statue went up less than 100 years ago, in the middle of a campaign of intimidationagainst black Virginians. Now it has become a rallying point for white supremacists, and the scene of the murder of counterprotestor Heather Heyer. Today, we’re going to fight back against the potent symbolism of white supremacy.
