LEILA FADEL, HOST:

Time now for StoryCorps. Five years ago today, hundreds of white nationalists converged on Charlottesville, Va., to protest the removal of a Confederate monument. The Unite the Right rally turned deadly when a car rammed into a crowd of counter-protesters. One person was killed. A dozen others were injured. Fifty-two-year-old Lisa Woolfork was in that crowd. She came to Story Corps to remember that day with her friend and fellow Charlottesville resident Kendall King-Sellars.
