In 2017, far-right political groups including the Ku Klux Klan, Neo-Nazis, and Proud Boys held their Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville. They did not want the city to take down a statue of Robert E. Lee. One man drove his car into a crowd of counter-protesters, killing a woman called Heather Heyer and injuring many others. United States President Donald Trump would later say there were "fine people" on both sides of the incident.
