chaos, violence and death to the streets of Charlottesville,
Virginia. To mark the anniversary, BackStory broadcasts an episode
of “A12,” a new podcast series presented by historian, writer and
podcaster Nicole Hemmer.
“A12” looks at the legacy of August 12th in Charlottesville and
beyond. In it Hemmer, who witnessed the rally and attack, brings
together city leaders, activists, scholars, and witnesses to make
sense of all the forces surrounding the events. It’s a sprawling
story, covering everything from Confederate statues to white
nationalists to questions of policing and law. But it’s also an
intimate one: a story of trauma, loss and healing.
