A Confederate statue in the heart of UNC-Chapel Hill was toppled Monday night during a rally by hundreds of protesters who decried the memorial known as "Silent Sam" as a symbol of racist heritage. The crowd gathered across the street from the University of North Carolina Chapel Hill plaza for a series of speakers before heading over to the statue. Then, about two hours into the protest, a group surrounded the statue and pulled it down. Once it was on the ground, demonstrators kicked it and cheered. Will this be the beginning of more college protests? Sign up on BOR.com so that you can stay up to date.
