After Texas A&M rally canceled, white nationalist says he may hold event near campus

COLLEGE STATION -- After Texas A&M University canceled a white nationalist rally that was planned for September at the university's plaza, the organizer says he wants to host some sort of event off-campus.

However, it would not be on Sept. 11, when the original rally was planned, said Preston Wiginton, the white nationalist who organized the “White Lives Matter” rally.

Wiginton said he believes the event was canceled because of an atmosphere “with emotions high on both sides.”

Wiginton said he has filed a complaint with the American Civil Liberties Union against Texas A&M, and he plans to take legal action against the university.
