Ferguson William Ferris “…barbecue is one of the institutions of the South.

  • 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.

  • Branding and Identity Guidelines
    BRANDING AND IDENTITY GUIDELINES Rev. 04/14/2021. For the most recent guidelines, please visit identity.unc.edu. The nation’s first public university is at the heart of what’s next, as we prepare a diverse student body to become creators, explorers, innovators and leaders in North Carolina and throughout the world. The legacy that began in 1795, when the University first opened its doors to students, continues today with Carolina’s nationally recognized, innovative teaching; campuswide spirit of inquiry; and dedication to public service. Letter from Joel Curran: With today’s crowded landscape, an organization’s brand is critical—it drives awareness and recognition and evokes feelings. The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill is the first public university in the nation. It has a rich history of excellence as the “University of the People” and a dynamic present and future as a major research institution. Because of its legacy and promise, UNC-Chapel Hill is a well-known, globally respected brand. As communicators, we are the stewards of that brand. The way that we present Carolina through visual, digital and written communications helps strengthen our connection with all audiences and promotes our values and vision. Style guides are an important tool and a best practice used at peer universities and major organizations to ensure that a consistent tone, look and feel are conveyed. The style guide for UNC-Chapel Hill includes standards for the use of the University logo, Carolina Blue and other identifying marks, as well as the expanded visual identity that supports the core brand.

A film by Diana Whitten 88:00 | HD Video | 16:9 | Stereo | Color | 2014 | USA International Sales: Philippa Kowarsky | Cinephil | +972 3 566 4129 | [email protected] North American Sales: Marc Allen | FilmBuff | 212.627.9898 | [email protected] Community Screenings and Filmmaker Appearances: Caitlin Boyle | Film Sprout | 347.682.2483 | [email protected] Publicity: Adam Segal | 2050 Group | 202.422.4673 | [email protected] SYNOPSIS Dr. Rebecca Gomperts sails a ship around the world, providing abortions at sea for women with no legal alternative. Her idea begins as flawed spectacle, faced with governmental, religious, and military blockade. But with each roadblock comes a more refined mission, until Rebecca realizes she can use new technologies to bypass law – and train women to give themselves abortions using WHO-researched protocols with pills. From there we witness her create an underground network of emboldened, informed activists who trust women to handle abortion themselves. Vessel is Rebecca’s story: one of a woman who hears and answers a calling, and transforms a wildly improbable idea into a global movement. DIRECTOR’S STATEMENT Rebecca’s story first drew me in because of the metaphor I found to be inherent to her work: a woman seeking a space out- side of sovereignty in order to reclaim her own. The metaphor manifests on the ship, with practical, tangible consequences that empower others and change the course of lives.
