DESCRIPTION:Last August, white nationalist and far right demonstrators gathered in 
 Charlottesville, Virginia, for a "Unite the Right" rally. The gathering 
 resulted in violent clashes with counter-protesters and the death of a 
 32-year-old woman. For many, the incident highlighted a resurfacing of 
 American extremism, a growing empowerment of fringe viewpoints and hateful 
 speech. It's a trend that experts have taken note of in recent years, with 
 far-right and white supremacist groups using college campuses as 
 recruitment centers and political candidates using increasingly divisive 
 rhetoric on the campaign trail.\n\nIn this special conversation presented 
 by KQED, a panel of experts will dig into the roots of this cultural and 
 political shift and tackle those uncomfortable questions of racism, 
 polarization and hateful speech. We'll explore what's led to the rise of 
 extremism in the U.S., whether we've seen anything like it before, and how 
 the country can move forward from a period of such intense 
 division.\n\nFree\n
