A White Lives Matter rally, organized by some of the same hate groups who staged a deadly protest in Charlottesville, Va. this summer, is expected to draw hundreds of white supremacists and hundreds of counterprotesters to Murfreesboro, Tenn.

The AJC is there and will provide continuous updates on the rally.
