  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Racial Justice Movements at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, 1951-2018
    RECLAIMING THE UNIVERSITY OF THE PEOPLE: RACIAL JUSTICE MOVEMENTS AT THE UNIVERSITY OF NORTH CAROLINA AT CHAPEL HILL, 1951-2018 Charlotte Fryar A dissertation submitted to the faculty at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of American Studies. Chapel Hill 2019 Approved by: Seth Kotch Rachel Seidman Altha Cravey Timothy Marr Daniel Anderson © 2019 Charlotte Fryar ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT Charlotte Fryar: Reclaiming the University of the People: Racial Justice Movements at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, 1951-2018 (Under the direction of Seth Kotch) This dissertation examines how Black students and workers engaged in movements for racial justice at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill from 1951 to 2018 challenged the University’s dominant cultural landscape of white supremacy—a landscape in direct conflict with the University’s mission to be a public university in service to all citizens of North Carolina. Beginning with the University’s legal desegregation, this dissertation tells the history of Black students’ and workers’ resistance to institutional anti-Blackness, demonstrating how the University consistently sought to exclude Black identities and diminish any movement that challenged its white supremacy. Activated by the knowledge of the University’s history as a site of enslavement and as an institution which maintained and fortified white supremacy and segregation across North Carolina, Black students and workers protested the ways in which the University reflects and enacts systemic racial inequities within its institutional and campus landscapes.

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. I would also like to thank two friends, Christine and Philip, for constantly being my rocks throughout school. I cannot express how much your support, whether in the form of proof reading papers, listening to my rambles about gentrification, or going on fieldwork with me in the middle of December, has meant.
