Charlottesville's First Black Female Mayor Tackles Racism In Her Town

Virginia Gov. Ralph Northam and the city of Charlottesville have declared a state of emergency this weekend, in preparation for the year anniversary of the deadly 2017 Unite the Right rally. The organizers were denied a permit and don’t plan to meet in Charlottesville again. Instead, they will be hosting a rally in D.C. But the city of Charlottesville is still preparing for the possibility of violence. VICE News spent time with Mayor Nikuyah Walker, the city’s first black female elected to the position, and explores what it's been like for the Charlottesville native to revive the city after a tragedy. "My hope is that we do this work of transforming the current state of the city so well that people will come and ask us how we did that," Walker told VICE News. ​"And that we may become a model for how true change happens in a country that has been struggling with truth for almost 400 years." ​ Subscribe to VICE News here: http://bit.ly/Subscribe-to-VICE-News Check out VICE News for more: http://vicenews.com Follow VICE News here: Facebook:   / vicenews   Twitter:   / vicenews   Tumblr:   / vicenews   Instagram:   / vicenews   More videos from the VICE network: https://www.fb.com/vicevideo
