On Saturday, amid a large-scale demonstration by white supremacists, a man drove a car into a crowd of anti-racist counter-protesters, injuring 19 people and killing one. The slain victim has since been identified as Heather Heyer, a 32-year-old Charlottesville paralegal who was attending the protests to stand against the white supremacist and neo-Nazi activity that descended on her city. The quotation posted at the top of her Facebook profile explains vividly why she was there when the attack took place.
“If you’re not outraged, you’re not paying attention,” the banner quote reads.
