Posted Aug 23, 2018
Marvin Williams is now a Charlotte Hornet, but in his college years he spent a little time at UNC. He says he isn't too familiar with the statue, but says he understands it represented an uncomfortable part of history for a lot of people. "You never want to erase history, but you always want to move forward. I think moving forward, we kind of want to get rid of some of those things." (Spectrum News)
