Final arrangements were recently concluded for the disposition of the statue Silent Sam, a memorial to the thousands of North Carolinians who fought for the Confederacy during the Civil War. Silent Sam had been ripped from his pedestal on the University of North Carolina campus during a demonstration in 2018. Recently, many other Confederate monuments […]
