In a federal courtroom in Charlottesville, Virginia, there's a trial going on, which is day-by-day

Four years later, the man who drove that car, he's been sentenced to life in prison.

The Confederate statues, these men came to Charlottesville to defend, they've been torn down.

But the organizations that brought so many people together on mass, they still exist,

attacked American infrastructure, civilians, leaders, people, religious houses of worship
