After a day of violence in Charlottesville that led to three deaths and dozens of injuries, community members and local leaders have planned events to help the area begin to heal.
Many businesses in the Downtown Mall area felt the need to close on Saturday—and some on Friday night, as well—to protect their employees and customers. A rally to bring folks back into those storefronts is planned for Sunday afternoon, from 1 PM to 3 PM.
The Black Student Alliance at U.Va. and Congregate Cville, both of which organized many of the demonstrations in support of the Charlottesville and University communities over the weekend, has planned a vigil for Heather Heyer, the local woman killed on Saturday afternoon.
