INSTITUTIONAL RACISM AT UNC
The Real Silent Sam Coalition called for the University to contextualize the history of its buildings. The Daily
Tar Heel's Projects and Investigations Team has provided more information about the namesakes of some
buildings that the University identified as having a history related to racism or slavery. In some cases, The
Daily Tar Heel also included buildings that celebrate the black men and women who helped build campus.
