A White Student’s Protest Art Focuses Attention on UNC’s Racial History
Posted May 28, 2017
Coated in bronze paint, a plaque that appeared on UNC's geography building in March seemed to answer the demands of student activists. Placed just above a plaque that bore the building’s official name, Carolina Hall, the new plaque offered a different history. So sophisticated was the plaque’s design, some questioned whether it might have been installed by the university itself.
