  • The 110 Year History of UNC's Confederate Monument, Silent Sam Although Torn Down, Political Conversations Keep the Statue Alive
    DAILY TARHEEL 7/23/2019, 3:56pm Rise and fall: The 110 year history of UNC's Confederate monument, Silent Sam Although torn down, political conversations keep the statue alive Buy Photos Graphic depiction of Silent Sam's toppling in August 2018. Silent Sam was the Confederate statue that stood on the northern edge of UNC's campus for over 100 years. BY Preston Lennon Clarification: This article has been updated to include attributions to information derived from the After Action report. The Daily Tar Heel apologizes for this error. The bronze, gun-wielding statue of a nameless Confederate Tar Heel guarded the northern edge of campus for over 100 years. Months have passed since the monument was torn down on the rainy night before 2018 FDOC, and it awaits its fate in a secure and secret location. The Civil War monument known as Silent Sam has forced uncomfortable and unprecedented questions about Confederate culture onto the politics of UNC and the state of North Carolina. Emblematic of a wide-scale reevaluation of the historical interplay between the American South and race, Silent Sam is seen by some as an out-of-place reminder of a bygone era, while others argue that by not resurrecting the statue after its illegal destruction, UNC subverted the rule of law. Where it stands now: Silent Sam has been stored in a secret location since August 2018. UNC's Board of Trustees proposed creating a secured museum on South Campus to house the statue, but leadership at the state level shot down the idea.

  • Spit on My Grave: Silent Sam and the Communities It Created By
    Spit on My Grave: Silent Sam and the Communities It Created By Nikolaus Eben Reasor Senior Honors Thesis Anthropology University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill April 27, 2020 Approved: __________________ Donald Nonini, Thesis Advisor Margarete Weiner, Reader Michelle Rivkin-Fish, Reader Table of Contents: Preface Introduction The Erection of Silent Sam and the Jim Crow Period: The Inherent Racism of the Confederate Gaze Contemporary History and Timeline Findings Ideas of the past Actions in the Present- Understood through the Prospective of Victor Turner’s Concept of Social Drama Ponderings of the Future Conclusion References Preface: The title of this thesis, “Spit on my Grave”, is a reference to what one of the students who witnessed Silent Sam being pulled down said to me. After being asked “what does Silent Sam mean to you?” there was a brief moment of silence, and then they used the titular phrase. This is a phrase that while being deeply violent, also represents the veiled and subliminal attacks Silent Sam represented. To spit on a grave, to violate a naturally sacred spot, showcases a lack of concern for the individual in said grave, but what they stood for. When discussing what this mean, the informant made clear that seeing Silent Sam and experiencing life under the monuments gaze was a sign of disvaluing the life and work of minority students on campus. It is a sign of hatred and disrespect The memory of Silent Sam, the conflicts, rallies, counter-protests, fear, and triumphs still ring through the campus of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, though the statue no longer rests on campus.
