August 10, 2018, 3:12 PM

WASHINGTON 鈥� Although no white nationalist rallies are planned for Charlottesville, Virginia, during the anniversary of last summer’s deadly clashes, the city is still preparing in case disruptions break out.

A number of events pushing back on hate speech are, however, planned.
