Fourth Street SE was renamed Heather Heyer Way in December 2017, four months after Heyer was killed when a car plowed into counter-protesters at the intersection of Fourth and Water Streets during the Unite the Right rally. The community has sustained the rest: flowers, chalk, and people who return each August 12.
