Abstract:

At the base of a Confederate statue known as Silent Sam on the University of North Carolina, a community of students has come to protest the monument. Although the University says it cannot remove the monument without approval of the North Carolina Historical Commission, under a 2015 law, students vow to not leave the site until Silent Sam is removed.
