A new book explains what, specifically, the organizers of Unite the Right sought to invert.
In August of 2017, alt-right activists, Klansmen, and neo-Nazis marched through Charlottesville, Virginia, claiming the town as their own, partly responding to the town’s battle over the fate of a statue of Robert E. Lee that occupied a central place in a park. This past week,, University of Virginia media historian Aniko Bodroghkozy investigates whether what happened in 2017 in Charlottesville was ever really about the statue at all.
You write that “What the SCLC did in Birmingham and later in Selma, the alt-right wanted to do in Charlottesville.” Talk more about the ways in which the two movements are connected, in your view?They’re connected in a mirror-image way in what they represent and signpost about U.S. history and the struggle against white supremacy and for democratic access across the past half-century.
