Charlottesville Mayor Nikuyah Walker listens to citizens during a city council meeting days before the anniversary of the white nationalists’ rally that ended with the death of a counterprotester. Nikuyah, who became mayor after the fatal incident last year, and RaShall Brackney, the city’s first African-American police chief hired this year, symbolize the community change that’s occurred since the racial clash that took place on the streets of this liberal, college city in Virginia.
