A University of Nevada, Reno, student was identified as a marcher in a white nationalist rally in Charlottesville, Virginia
Peter Cvjetanovic, 20, denounced the violence that led to three people’s deaths.
A photo of Cvjetanovic at the rally went viral on social media.
The event was staged to protest the mandated removal of a statue of Confederate Gen. Robert E. Lee.
Cvjetanovic wrote that he “went to honor the heritage of white culture here in the United States,”
He said: “I recognize the need to acknowledge both the good and bad of white history as it has made the nation we have now. All people have the right to their culture and their history including jews, african-americans, and white americans. I do not advocate for violence and certainly not the death of anyone. Today became a tragedy with the three fatalities.”
Social media posts are calling for his expulsion from the university.
UNR President Marc A. Johnson said the rally’s message does not reflect the university’s egalitarian values.
