An intersection in Charlottesville, Virginia, got a temporary makeover this week as part of an effort to change the narrative of the location from a place of hate to symbol of unity
Jake Van Yahres grabbed some white chalk and started working his magic at the Downtown Mall early Friday morning, trying to makeover the spot where two years ago a man drove his car into a crowd of counter protesters at a white nationalist rally, killing 32-year-old Heather Heyer. Charlottesville native and artist Van Yahres was living in San Francisco when the killing occurred, and he told CNN he remembered watching the news and feeling helpless and frustrated.
"Like what if we could turn the message around in some way?"Van Yahres said he thought August was the perfect time to chalk up his idea of interlaced fingers symbolizing people of different races coming together at the intersection because of the foot traffic associated with the city's"Unity Days.
