White nationalists return to Charlottesville - BBC News
White nationalist protesters have returned to the US town Charlottesville two months after violent clashes there saw a woman killed.
The town's mayor said the small group's appearance at the statue of a Confederate general was "another despicable visit by neo-Nazi cowards".
The brief torch-lit rally was organised by far-right figure Richard Spencer.
In videos he posted protesters can be heard chanting "You will not replace us" and "we will be back".
The statue of Confederate General Robert E Lee was also the venue for the "Unite the Right" rally in August, held to oppose plans to remove it.
Counter-demonstrator Heather Heyer, 32, was killed when a participant drove into a group of counter-protesters at high speed.
