About 30 white nationalists gathered today in Washington and headed for the White House, on the anniversary of the violent right-wing rally in Charlottesville, and they are separated from hundreds of counter-protest participants by numerous police officers.

Hundreds of opponents of the extreme right moved, throwing insults and provocations, in parallel with a group of nationalists who headed to Lafayette Park, near the White House, where they scheduled a "white human rights rally", according to the Associated Press.

On the streets of Charlottesville, in the state of Virginia, on August 12, 2017, a gathering of extreme right-wing extremists - neo-Nazis, skinheads, members of the Ku Klux Klan, clashed with the participants of the counter rally. Participant of the counter-protest, 32-year-old Heather Heyer, was killed when a car plowed into citizens demonstrating against a gathering of extreme right-wing extremists.

Today's gathering of right-wingers was organized by Jason Kessler, the initiator of last year's gathering in Charlottesville, called "Unite the Right."
