Silent Sam’s monument on the campus of UNC in Chapel Hill has once again become the target for opposition demonstration.
Police are investigating an incident after someone spray-painted the words “Who is Sandra Bland?” on the “Silent Sam” Confederate memorial. You may remember, last month when Sandra Bland, a black woman, was arrested in Texas for not using a signal light and was later found hanged to death in her cell.
Since the shooting of the Pastor and church members of Emanuel A.M.E. Church in Charleston, South Carolina, numerous confederate monuments have been a target of resentment about racism and things that represent it.
The statue was also vandalized during the July 4th holiday with the words “murderer” and “black lives matter” on it.
