Thousands of people poured onto the streets of Boston on Saturday to demonstrate against racism and hate, one week after race-related protests turned violent in Charlottesville, Virginia.

The crowd chanted anti-Nazi slogans and waved signs condemning white nationalism as it made its way near Boston Common, in downtown Boston.

The event was organized in response to a fatal clash between white nationalists and leftist activists in Virginia last Saturday that resulted in the death of one female and two police officers.
