MORE: Scott Baio is sorry for posting a fake-news item about Heather Heyer's mom
Authorities arrested James Alex Fields, 20, of Ohio, and charged him with second degree murder, three counts of malicious wounding and one count of failing to stop at an accident that resulted in a death. He was denied bond.
TheHeather Heyer Foundation's web site embraces the message Heyer once posted on Facebook: "If you're not outraged, you're not paying attention."
She is described on the site as "a young civil rights activist, who dedicated her life to promoting equal rights for all people." Money the foundation raises will support "a scholarship program to provide financial assistance to individuals passionate about positive social change. Scholarships will be awarded to those seeking a degree or certification in, but not limited to, law, paralegal studies, social work, social justice, and education."
