THREAD: Five years ago, white supremacist violence came to a head in our community. Today, we remember and honor the brave students who stood in solidarity with each other when neo-Nazis and KKK members marched on the Lawn on August 11. 1/10

These efforts can never erase the pain and trauma endured by Charlottesville in 2017. We hope that our commitment to the community to listen, learn from, and give back will allow us to contribute to genuine healing. 10/10
