The Sons of Confederate Veterans must keep the 'Silent Sam' statue outside the 14 counties that include university system campuses, according to the latest settlement.
University of North Carolina gives 'Silent Sam' statue, toppled by protesters in 2018, to Confederate groupA torn-down Confederate monument will not return to the University of North Carolina campus, the school announced Wednesday, and instead be given to descendants of Confederate soldiers.
Since protesters at UNC Chapel Hill toppled it last year, the university had deliberated how to handle the monument installed more than a century ago. Some students and faculty rejected the dedication to "the sons of the university who entered the war of 1861-65 in answer to the call of their country," saying"Silent Sam" glorifies racism, slavery and white supremacy.
"The safety and security concerns expressed by students, faculty, and staff are genuine, and we believe this consent judgment not only addresses those concerns but does what is best for the university, and the university community in full compliance with North Carolina law,” Holmes said in a statement.Courtesy of The History Tourist
“We have been involved in ongoing negotiations and collaboration to achieve this outcome and we believe it is a fair result,” Commander R. Kevin Stone said in a statement.
