Washington, D.C.'s Metro is no longer considering separate trains for protesters attending the white nationalist "Unite the Right" rally on Aug. 12.
Reports emerged last week that Metro officials were considering providing separate trains for those attending the "white civil rights" rally, citing safety concerns.
A number of groups condemned Metro's proposal, pointing out that other Washington protesters have rarely received comparable protection, but Metro Board Chairman Jack Evans said they were just trying to avoid clashes.
