Heather D. Heyer died standing up for what she believed in.

Friends described her as a passionate advocate for the disenfranchised who was often moved to tears by the world’s injustices. That sense of conviction led her to join demonstrators protesting a rally of white nationalists in Charlottesville, Va., on Saturday.

“We were just marching around, spreading love — and then the accident happened,” a friend, Marissa Blair, said. “In a split second you see a car, and you see bodies flying.”

“Heather was such a sweet soul, and she did not deserve to die,” Ms. Blair said on Sunday.

America needs to build a statue in VA in her honor. She is a hero.

"If you're not outraged, you're not paying attention."

1. I think Charlottesville should prominently display a statue of Heather, with

her feet trampling Nazi and Confederate flags and signs. That way, future generations will know exactly who killed her.
