  • Mccorkle PLACE
    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.

Our mission is to train students fully and deeply on all aspects of running a news organization and to serve the UNC community with news and information that they need. To achieve this mission, we as an organization have established four overarching goals that serve as the basis of DTH Media Co.’s strategic plans for the year, which include: becoming an indispensable, trusted guide to UNC and life for students; growing consumer and institutional revenue, diversifying and strengthening our business-to-business revenue; and shifting to audience-centric practices across the organization.

  • 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.

I owe much gratitude and thanks to my advisor and thesis director, Dr. Carroll Van West, for consistently challenging and supporting me throughout my two years as a master’s student at MTSU. I also owe many thanks to Dr. Louis Kyriakoudes, who came on to this project ready to lend his support and talk all things Chapel Hill. I thank you both for being patient with me as I worked through this thesis and for helping me to become a better preservationist and historian. There are so many others I would like to thank for helping me discover historic preservation, introducing me to MTSU, and for supporting me throughout my education. To my family, thank you for always listening and never questioning what I wanted to do. To my mentors from North Carolina, I owe so much of who I am today as a preservationist to y’all.

  • The Self-Memorialization of John Motley Morehead Iii
    A CRAFTED LEGACY: THE SELF-MEMORIALIZATION OF JOHN MOTLEY MOREHEAD III Lindsay E. Oliver A senior honors thesis submitted to the faculty at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Bachelor of Arts in the Department of American Studies in the Colleges of Arts and Sciences. Chapel Hill 2019 Approved By: ABSTRACT Lindsay E. Oliver: A Crafted Legacy: The Self-Memorialization of John Motley Morehead III (Under the direction of Timothy Marr) This paper explores the self-memorialization project of John Motley Morehead III (1870- 1965) through his benefactions to the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill during the 1930s through 1950s. An examination of the conception and execution of the Morehead- Patterson Bell Tower, Morehead Planetarium and Sundial, and Morehead-Cain Foundation reveals how Morehead sought to carefully engrave his name and memory into both the built landscape and the reputation of the University to promote a legacy of prestige through his own memory. This paper also examines relevant biographical details drawn from Morehead’s personal papers, which have not previously been subject to academic examination, and offers a critical review of Morehead’s legacy and contributions to the University as well as situates them within the philanthropic context of this period. Finally, it explores the implications of Morehead’s self-memorialization project for contemporary philanthropy as a means of establishing legacy. 2 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS This project would not have been possible without the encouragement and unrelenting positivity of my advisor, Tim Marr, to whom I extend my utmost gratitude for guiding me through this process, reading my drafts, sending Melville quotations, and propelling me to be a better writer and student.
