White Supremacy in the USA

What are the roots of the white supremacy movement as seen in Charlottesville, Virginia?

There was deadly violence at a white supremacist rally in Virginia over the weekend. A woman was killed by a car that was rammed into a crowd protesting the march. The White House has defended President Donald Trump's reaction after he failed to explicitly condemn far-right groups. So who are groups at the fore of the white supremacist movement?

Also in the programme; a Pakistani historian discusses the time he met the son of the man who murdered his grandfather at the time of partition and; should Catholic clerics face criminal charges if they do not report sexual abuse disclosed to them during confession?
