Often, a stranger will approach her on the streets of Charlottesville, Virginia, and ask her if she is Heather Heyer’s mother. “Why am I getting a present because my daughter died?” she asks from the office of the fledgling Heather Heyer Foundation. Bro received a call from one of Heyer’s friends saying that her daughter had been hit. Hate mail from those in the far right doesn’t shake her. She has also resisted offers of an official memorial, agreeing only to have part of the street where Heyer died renamed Heather Heyer Way.
