December 20, 2017
Charlottesville honored one of its fallen champions this week. Heather Heyer was protesting against a gathering of white nationalists in August when she was struck by a car driven by James Fields Jr. and killed. On Wednesday, supporters gathered to dedicate the street to her memory. It's now called Heather Heyer Way. The Virginia city hopes that Heyer's sacrifice will serve as a beacon.
