Thousands crowded into heavily guarded Lafayette Park to form the "Unite Against Hate" counter protest against the "Unite the Right" Protest. Unite the Right - an alt-right group representing the KKK, Nazis, and other White Supremacist groups had announced plans to rally in front of the White House. They anticipated 100-400 participants.
The Unite-The-Right protest ended up with fewer than 30 protesters, who left quickly when confronted with the huge counter protest and an afternoon thunderstorm.
Below are some images from the Unite Against Hate (counter protest) view.
