Losers in 1945. Losers in 2021.”

Rabbi Tom Gutherz of Congre-

gation Beth Israel, who had

stood alongside Schenberg, held

a sign calling for “Justice for

Charlottesville.” He penned a

letter to his congregation the day

before jury selection began, re-

flecting on if this trial could

possibly bring them closure. To

him, the answer was no.

“There will be closure when

we figure out as an American

people how to combat these

trends, when we get some clarity

on what draws people to these

false theories, and those underly-

ing dynamics which allow for the

popularization of these ideas,”

Gutherz wrote to his congrega-

tion.

While many people in front of

the courthouse come and go,

49-year-old Rosia Parker and

52-year-old Katrina Turner have

been a constant. The two Black

women, who know some of the

plaintiffs, positioned themselves

in plain view of the door in hope

of sending a clear message to the

white supremacists and neo-

Nazis back in town: Hate has no

place here.

They play just three songs

from their phone speakers:

James Brown’s “Say It Loud, I’m

Black And I’m Proud,” “A Change

Is Gonna Come” and “The Big

Payback.”

When one of the defendants,

Richard Spencer, a white su-

premacist who coined the term

“alt-right,” walked out of the

courthouse after legal proceed-

ings this month, they turned up

the volume and danced.

Earlier in the trial, when their

friend Devin Willis walked out of

the courthouse, they both

dropped their “Black Lives Mat-

ter” banner and ran toward him.

“What’s up, trouble?” Willis

said, a smile across his face.

Moments earlier, the 23-year-old

told jurors about the sound of

white supremacists making

“monkey noises” around him at

the haunting 2017 march. He

described how he feared for his

life as a Black man in the middle

of the mob.

Outside, away from the defen-

dants, Willis exuded relief. “I’m

so glad y’all are here. I haven’t

seen you in so long. I love y’all so

much,” he told Parker and Turner

as they enveloped him in a group

hug and swayed.

drawn in red on the glass. Nearby

businesses have “Black Lives

Matter” signs in their windows.

Though some people are

avoiding the daily drumbeat of

racism spewed by defendants or

the evidence from plaintiff attor-

neys that they argue details the

execution and celebration of vio-

lence, others are following close-

ly.

Up to 500 people dialed in to

listen to the trial every day.

Activists and journalists tweeted

what amounts to a loose tran-

script of the proceedings to tens

of thousands of followers.

And members of the clergy

and activists frequently stopped

by the federal courthouse to

show their support for the plain-

tiffs, often in the afternoons to

greet people as they exit for the

day.

Cora Schenberg, an assistant

professor at the U-Va. Germanic

languages and literatures de-

partment, had stood outside the

courthouse earlier this month

with a sign that read, “Nazis:

than a decade.

It is near the Rotunda, the tall

domed-roof structure designed

by Thomas Jefferson and built by

the people who were enslaved.

On Aug. 11, 2017, the torch-carry-

ing mob marched down the mid-

dle of the campus lawn, climbed

to the Rotunda and converged on

the students at a statue of Jeffer-

son.

Now the memorial is a coun-

terpoint to the Rotunda and

honors the lives of the 4,00 0

people who were enslaved and

forced to build the campus. Oth-

er signs of the city’s racist past

have been removed.

After more than five years of

advocacy from residents, includ-

ing a 2016 petition from then-

high school student Zyahna Bry-

ant, Charlottesville removed in

July the statues of L ee and fellow

Confederate general Stone wall

Jackson.

Amid the trial, people walking

from the Downtown Mall toward

the federal courthouse passed a

bus stop with “A ntifa Zone”

on the campus, she was sur-

prised that there were not more

discussions about the white su-

premacists who came with

t orches and violence. She briefly

met Natalie Romero, one of the

plaintiffs in this suit, at a multi-

cultural student event and intro-

duced herself.

Brickhouse recognized Rome-

ro from photos of her published

after the car attack t hat fractured

her skull. “She probably won’t

remember it, but I do,” she said.

“I don’t think I’ve ever been that

close to a tragedy.” Brickhouse,

now a U-Va. senior majoring in

cognitive science and a member

of the Black Student Alliance,

said she has not given the trial

much thought.

U-Va., like other institutions,

has tried to reckon with its past,

including its embrace and de-

fense of slavery. Earlier this year,

the university dedicated a Me-

morial to Enslaved Laborers, af-

ter many students, activists, his-

torians and descendants had ad-

vocated for that idea for more

political stunt, cosplaying as

white supremacists in the deadly

Unite the Right rally.

It was offensive, the residents

said, and particularly tasteless

for occurring while victims of the

weekend’s racist violence testi-

fied in court. Council members

then blasted the Lincoln Project,

the anti-Trump Republican

group behind the political stunt,

saying in a letter that it “tore

open a still-healing wound” and

“caused a PTSD flashback to

those traumatic days.”

Kanijah Brickhouse saw the

horror of that weekend four

years ago through social media

posts. She was in high school on

the Eastern Shore of Virginia at

the time and remembers recog-

nizing the city name as the same

one that hosts the University of

Virginia.

“It was in Charlottesville. I

was thinking about going there,”

Brickhouse recalled at the time.

“It is such a good school, but

would I be welcomed there?”

When Brickhouse first arrived

took their orders and then hand-
ed them their pizza slices.
Then a call came in. Hundreds
of people follow “cvillefash-
watch,” which tweets when a
white supremacist defendant is
spotted on the Downtown Mall,
along with photos. The person
on the other line told Alvarado
that a white supremacist was
inside the restaurant.
Confused, she peeked behind
the register at pictures of the
defendants on a flier that anti-
fascist organizers handed out to
local businesses. Then she
looked at the men sitting at the
window overlooking the pedes-
trian mall.
“I wasn’t sure what happened,
and it makes me uncomfortable,”
she said in an interview after the
encounter. “I didn’t know who
they were.” Now she wondered,
“What should I do next time?”
The federal courthouse where
the trial is being held is a
five-minute walk to the park
where men in combat gear, with
long guns and chemical irritants,
showed up in support of the
statue of Confederate Gen. Rob-
ert E. Lee. It is about a mile from
the Rotunda, where white su-
premacists with torches
marched one night four years
ago chanting, “Jews will not
replace us!”
And it is located just blocks
away from the spot where a
neo-Nazi plowed his car through
the crowd of anti-racism protest-
ers, striking four of the plaintiffs
in this civil lawsuit and killing
32-year-old Heather Heyer.
This closeness has put the
Charlottesville residents follow-
ing the federal trial on edge, as
they process the trauma that
lingers from what they refer to as
the “Summer of Hate.”
The people who call Char-
lottesville home are tired of oth-
ers using their town’s name as
shorthand for the sights and
sounds of bigotry that were
broadcast across the nation that
weekend. They’re skeptical, too,
of the outsiders coming to tell
their stories.
Hours after Alvarado encoun-
tered Heimbach at his lunch
break, residents called into a City
Council meeting with com-
plaints about another troubling
moment. The prior Friday, a
group had come to town for a

CHARLOTTESVILLE FROM B1

Charlottesville trial near site of deadly rally is haunting reminder for residents

CARLOS BERNATE FOR THE WASHINGTON POST

Residents walk along the Downtown Mall last week. The popular stretch of restaurants and shops h as been frequented by d efendants in

the federal lawsuit brought by plaintiffs seeking to hold Unite the Right leaders accountable for the deadly violence during the 2017 rally.
