Windsor's Multicultural Council is speaking out against the violence and hate that took place in Charlottesville, Virginia.
An Ohio man is in jail facing a second degree murder charge after a car plowed into a crowd at a white nationalist rally.
The woman who was killed and 19 others who were injured were protesting against the rally.
Multicultural Council Director of Programs and Development - Fred Francis - says hate has no place anywhere.

"White nationalists, neo-nazi groups going down to a community regardless of whatever community it is and spreading their hate and trying to incite violence is certainly something that I don't think can be tolerated in any civilized community or country" said Francis.
He agrees with the Prime Minister that Canada is not immune to racial intolerance and he can't say there's no intolerance in Windsor but it's the responsibiity of decent people to combat it.
Francis says the Windsor community is a clear example of how racial integration works.
"It could work to the benefit of everybody and it could work to the benefit of an entire nation," according to Francis. "I think Canada certainly provides that model that immigration does work and diversity does work and it can work to the benefit of not only individual people and groups but an entire nation"
Francis says it is the duty of every right-thinking person in a society to oppose any form of racial discord.
James Alex Fields Jr. is charged with second-degree murder and other counts after authorities say he drove into the crowd, fatally injuring one woman and hurting 19 others.
The rally was held by white nationalists and others who oppose a plan to remove from a Charlottesville park of a statue of Confederate Gen. Robert E. Lee.
