A white supremacist rally is expected to take place on the National Mall in Washington, DC, on the anniversary of another deadly race march in Charlottesville.

The National Park Service approved an application by the organizer of “Unite the Right” to hold a demonstration on Aug. 11.

The group’s leader, Jason Kessler, calls the event a “White Civil Rights Rally.”

Kessler still needs a permit to hold the rally, according to WUSA-TV.

Last year in Charlottesville, 34-year-old Heather Hayer was killed when a man drove his car into a group of people protesting the rally.

Kessler has blamed the city and protesters for the Charlottesville violence.

In his application for the DC rally, Kessler claims “members of Antifa,” an anti-fascist group, may try to disrupt the white supremacist march.
