An oral history of one of Chapel Hill’s darkest days
Posted Jan 26, 2015
Walking down Henderson Street, most people just see a concrete wall with a mural of a pencil. But beneath layers and layers of paint, still visible, are deep dents — bullet holes — in the concrete. Those bullet holes are the only physical evidence left of events that occurred on this day, 20 years ago. A day that left the UNC and the Chapel Hill communities reeling in shock and disbelief.
