Just over a year after the Confederate monument was pulled down, the U. of NC System says 'Silent Sam' will be given to a Confederate history group. A $2.5M charitable trust will go toward its care and preservation — which has angered the statue's critics.
Just over a year after the Confederate monument was pulled down by protesters, the University of North Carolina System announced the statue commonly known as "Silent Sam" will be given to a Confederate history group. A $2.5 million charitable trust will go toward its care and preservation -- a move that angered critics of the statue.
The UNC system announced Wednesday that Silent Sam would be given to the North Carolina Division of the Sons of Confederate Veterans, which will now own all rights, title and interest in the monument as part of a legal settlement after the group sued the system, according to the news release.Though it's not stated where exactly the statue will go, the settlement states that the statue cannot be located in any of the 14 counties containing a UNC system school.
