CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. — An organizer of last summer’s white nationalist rally in Charlottesville is suing the Virginia city over its denial of his request to hold an anniversary event. The Daily Progress reports Jason Kessler filed a federal lawsuit Tuesday. He argues that his First Amendment rights were violated when the city denied his permit application. Kessler is a Charlottesville resident who was the primary organizer of the Aug. 12 “Unite the Right” event, which descended into violence. ——Information from: The Daily Progress, http://www.dailyprogress.com
