Hundreds to converge on DC for anniversary of Charlottesville rally
Hundreds of white nationalists and opponents will stage dueling public protests in Washington, D.C., on Sunday, marking a year since similar demonstrations turned deadly in Charlottesville, Va.
White nationalists for months have been fighting amongst themselves over how to stage their Aug. 12 "Unite the Right 2" rally, even while a broad coalition of civil rights activists have coordinated expansive counterprotests.
The permit for the "white civil rights" rally estimates there will be up to 400 attendees, but experts warned The Hill this is likely overblown.
"[These neo-Nazi groups] are pretty famous for overestimating their turnout and backing down when it turns out that theres a really massive response to what theyre doing," Mark Lance, a professor of justice and peace at Georgetown University, told The Hill. "So it would not surprise me if it was a very small turnout."
