Glad to see the @CarolinaChamber of Commerce call for moving UNC's Confederate #SilentSam. Via @WCHLChapelboro. https://t.co/HhI3wSaU3N

Public opposition to Silent Sam by students began during the Civil Rights movement. This editorial was published in the DTH in March 1965.

It's a beautiful Sunday to come out to @UNC. It is everyone's responsibility to challenge white supremacy and the rise of white nationalism

@snootch2nootch @ShaunKing @UNC One post from @ShaunKing could help us take down that racist Confederate monument this week...and help pave the way for others. #SilentSam

If we take these statues down and don’t change to become a more open and inclusive society this would have all been in vain.

[Mitch Landrieu @MitchLandrieu]

We've not erased history; we're righting the wrong image these monuments represent & crafting a better future for all our children.

[Mitch Landrieu @MitchLandrieu]

It is down. Now New Orleans starts a new chapter in our history.

Pretty festive atmosphere on the anti-monument side right now as band breaks in Saints Go Marching In

[Mitch Landrieu @MitchLandrieu]

The third confederate statue is now down. Another step forward for our city.

[Mitch Landrieu @MitchLandrieu]

It is through acts of courage and standing for what is right that we will build the city of our dreams.

[Mitch Landrieu @MitchLandrieu]

Today we refuse to allow our past to define us and begin removal of the Beauregard statue honoring the Confederacy. https://t.co/i0b2qeAaCq
