On the Jewish Holy Day Yom Kippur, Over 100 white supremacists turned out for the latest rally put on by the National Socialist Movement (NSM) at Valley Forge Historical Park, while a mile away in the same park double that number turned out for a rally countering the message of hate with a call for unity.

At the same time, a third event was occuring that got little mainstream press; direct opposition to the facists by local and regional anti-facist organizations. For the hours leading up to the neo-Nazi rally as White Supremacists arrived, anti-facists and neo-Nazis scuffled, with anti-facists confronting members of the Minnesota-based National Socialist Movement and other White Power groups directly.
