TO THE EDITOR:
After the Historical Revisionist mobs have pulled down Silent Sam with their pitchforks (Silent Sam a monument to pre-Civil War enslavement, Jan. 18), they should also take aim at South Building, Person Hall, Old East and West, New East and West and Playmakers Theatre — all physical reminders of UNC’s participation in the institution of slavery and as a product of its time.
Of course, the recent Unsung Founders Memorial will have to go too, since there would be no need to commemorate something that never happened. Polk Place would become even more bucolic. After all, amnesia has its privileges. Just ask the Chinese.
