To: Carol Folt, Chancellor of UNC
Bury Silent Sam
Confederate Monument and "slut-shaming" Silent Sam at UNC-Chapel Hill is finally gone. I oppose UNC spending millions of dollars to resurrect and enshrine this monument that was built to honor white supremacy and grew to embody a tradition of shaming sexually active women.
Why is this important?
I am a UNC Alumna, an NC tax payer, an Orange County resident, and a committed anti-racist organizer. Enough is enough with the "Lost Cause" narrative that cemented the Jim Crow era. Silent Sam is gone, no resources should be wasted on enshrining the statue.
