"We'll stand when you do…" That's how Jesse Williams captioned a video from the BIG3 basketball game he attended in Charlottesville, Va., on Sunday, Aug. 13, one day after white supremacists rallied to "unite the right" in a protest that turned deadly, killing 32-year-old counter-protester Heather Heyer.
