    CHAPTER EIGHT: McCORKLE PLACE McCorkle Place is said to be the most densely memorialized piece of real estate in North Carolina.501 On the University’s symbolic front lawn, there are almost a dozen monuments and memorials fundamental to the University’s lore and traditions, but only two monuments within the space have determined the role of McCorkle Place as a space for racial justice movements.502 The Unsung Founders Memorial and the University’s Confederate Monument were erected on the oldest quad of the campus almost a century apart for dramatically different memorial purposes. The former honors the enslaved and freed Black persons who “helped build” the University, while the latter commemorated, until its toppling in August 2018, “the sons of the University who entered the war of 1861-65.”503 Separated by only a few dozen yards, the physical distinctions between the two monuments were, before the Confederate Monument was toppled, quite striking.

  • A Post-Silent Sam Look at UNC Public
    Cat cafe comes to town Get your heart purring with Chapel Hill’s soon- arriving business, featured on p. 5. 125 YEARS OF SERVING UNC STUDENTS AND THE UNIVERSITY MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 3, 2018 VOLUME 126, ISSUE 34 A post-Silent Sam look at UNC public art Art pieces add to debate over what public art has meant and what it will look like By Maeve Sheehey Arts & Entertainment Assistant Editor Silent Sam is down, a giant spi- der stands in front of the New West building and people are questioning what UNC’s changing landscape says about the campus. While some say Silent Sam should be protected because of its artistic value, others argue that it makes a negative political statement. Additional controversial art pieces add to the debate over what public art has meant in the past and what it will look like going forward at UNC. The changing nature of pub- lic art UNC has added several statues and monuments since Silent Sam’s install- ment in 1913, including a ram statue meant to honor student athletes and the Unsung Founders Memorial, a table dedicated to “the people of color bound and free who helped build the Carolina that we cherish today.” Cary Levine, an associate professor of contemporary art, said the public art of recent years is becoming more likely to represent broader communi- ties of people and social movements, rather than specific figures. “I think that in terms of our ideas of what we’re memorializing, we’ve really moved past the idea of the great individual, the genius — and often those people are the great white male genius — as the epito- me of some kind of achievement, or DTH/HALEY HODGES some kind of victory, or some kind of accomplishment,” Levine said.

There were demanding classes, all-nighters and count- less assignments to overcome on the way, but those chal- lenges led to a degree from Carolina. As the graduates prepare for the next phase of their careers, Marine veteran and social entrepreneur Rye Bar- cott urged them to continue taking their challenges and turning them into something useful and positive. “The truth is, many of life’s most fulfilling moments— and most accomplishments—rarely happen without some degree of pain,” he said. Barcott, the co-founder of nonprofits Carolina for Kibera and With Honor, delivered the Commencement address as Carolina celebrated the graduation of the Class of 2018. Chancellor Carol L. Folt presided over the ceremony that drew nearly 30,000 of the graduates’ family and friends, as well as Board of Governors Chair W. Louis Bis- sette, Board of Trustees Vice Chair Charles G. Duckett and General Alumni Association Board of Directors Chair Jim Delany. The degrees of 6,119 Carolina students were conferred during the 90-minute ceremony. They included 3,886 with bachelor’s, 1,596 with master’s, 262 with doctoral and 637 with professional degrees from the schools of dentistry, law, medicine, nursing and pharmacy.

  • Providing Real-Time Response Rates for the 2020 Census Understanding a Community After Redistricting Research and Impact
    YEAR IN REVIEW 2020 Contents Letter from Dr. Tippett 3 Research and Impact 4 Our Work Across North Carolina 8 By the Numbers 9 Work With Us 10 Who We Are 11 Morehead-Patterson Bell Tower, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. (Johnny Andrews/UNC-Chapel Hill) About Carolina Demography We use population-level data to answer the question: Where is North Carolina heading? Carolina Demography is a team of demographic researchers, evaluators, spatial analysts, coders, designers, and storytellers, working at the Carolina Population Center at UNC Chapel Hill. We provide people with the data and analysis they need to make sense of population-level changes. Collectively, we have decades of experience making population estimates and forecasts, analyzing population-level and economic trends, and communicating that data back out into the world in a way that’s easy to understand and act upon. Our work informs decision-making, evaluation, and policy across North Carolina, where we serve organizations and people in all 100 counties. ay back in 2019, which now seems like eons ago, I wrote a column for Vox about the importance of the upcoming 2020 Census. It started off like this: “For demographers like me, the census is kind of like our WSuper Bowl, if the Super Bowl only took place once a decade — and if the foundation of your representative democracy hinged on the winner of the game.” The 2020 Census kicked off its nationwide efforts to count every person in the United States during the second week of March 2020. If that week rings a bell, it’s because it’s also the week that many of us – Carolina Demography included – started working remotely as the pandemic ravaged the world around us and everything drastically changed overnight.
