Two people wrote racist messages on the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill's Unsung Founders Memorial and an art installation on campus, according to university officials. The school has been embroiled in debates over race and history this year.
The Unsung Founders Memorial, dedicated in 2005, on the campus of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. By Susan Svrluga Susan Svrluga Reporter covering higher education for the Grade Point blog Email Bio Follow April 3 at 8:00 AM A memorial to enslaved people at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill was defaced with “racist and other deplorable language” over the weekend, according to campus officials.
An outdoor art installation also was vandalized with racist and hateful language Sunday, Kevin M. Guskiewicz, interim chancellor of UNC, said in a message to the campus. A university spokesman described the artwork as a piece designed by a student “in support of inclusivity in student activism.” In a statement to the Herald-Sun newspaper late Monday night, Spivey said vandalism of a monument violates everything his group stands for. “If these acts of vandalism were in fact committed by any member of Heirs, then the perpetrator were acting on their own, in a renegade capacity and unsanctioned by the Board of Directors,” he told the Herald-Sun.
I was told today by my lawyer that something in regards to my name was spraypainted on a monument. UNC has not officially contacted me even though I am a PhD student nor told anything else to my lawyer. They didn't tell him what was written, nor have they told any of you
