WASHINGTON (WUSA9) - Seven days ago, they started on their 110-mile journey from Charlottesville, Virginia to Washington D.C. 

They're fighting for what they believe in, a group of activists and volunteers who are walking with a purpose. Their march is called the "March to Confront White Supremacy."

It started in Charlottesville, but it goes even further back for some of those participating.

"Literally on my way to high school every day I passed a trailer home that had black dolls hanging ...  and when the city told the person they had to take the dolls down, they put a sign out front that said they're inside," said Stephanie Llanes. She works as a lawyer for the New York-based activist group, the Center for Constitutional Rights.

Llanes said her experiences as a teenager and seeing what happened in Charlottesville are why she's in Gainesville, Virginia Sunday night. The group is resting there and plans to set-out at 10 a.m. on Monday on the next leg of their march. They've gone around 70 miles so far.
