“Heritage Not Hate” and White Nationalist Networks
On August 15, 2020, racists and the far-Right vow to rally at Stone Mountain outside Atlanta.

Although some organizers claim to represent “Heritage Not Hate”, a closer look at who is mobilizing shows that August 15 will bring an influx of racists to the surrounding community.
