Initially scheduled to be held at West Virginia State University in Institute, the rally was moved to the Capitol after search other organizations reached out following the recent deadly protest in Charlottesville, Virginia.
In Charlottesville a week ago, a car plowed into counter-demonstrators at a white nationalist rally, killing a woman and injuring at least 20 others.
