Editorial: Visit Cash Crop! to learn about the legacy of slavery
Students, faculty and members of the community should visit this exhibit to get a deeper understanding of what "Cash Crop!" represents, and experience the power of the statues first-hand.
Editorial: UNC covers up its racist past — literally
We’re tired of writing different versions of the same editorial, begging UNC to recognize the humanity of its marginalized students. At this point, it feels like we’re just screaming into the void. But more importantly, we know students of color are tired of living it.
Editorial: Legislative inaction means rural North Carolinians are without health care
The indecisive nature of the state leaders, combined with an unclear future for Medicaid and health care, has led North Carolina to be ninth in the nation for the highest rate of uninsured residents.

That said, the status quo of police violence targeted at low-income and minority New Yorkers must begin its transition toward being fare-free, perhaps using Chapel Hill as a scalable model.

Facebook maintains a hands-off, free-speech-oriented approach to regulating political ads even as advertisers use personal data to target users.

In our opinion, expecting the University to do as much as possible to make sure we don’t get sexually assaulted is not too much to ask. Nor is it too much to expect that our experiences are validated and investigated fairly.

Editorial: Striking down African-American history classes is Black erasure
In a world that so often disparages young Black kids, we should be doing everything we can to remind them of their worth. These classes would have been one way to do that.
Editorial: GoPasses for all could help further connect UNC with the Triangle
"So, to the powers that be at UNC: when faced with so many controversial issues, why not do something easy that would unquestionably benefit the student body, and give us bus passes, yeah?"
Editorial: The Editorial Board's report cards for the Board of Education candidates
"After interviewing all of the candidates for the Chapel Hill-Carrboro City Schools Board of Education, we were blown away by the quality, values and experience that each candidate brought to the table. There are four seats available, so we encourage you to vote based upon whose values align most-closely with your own. Overall, we believe that any of these five would make excellent members of the School Board."

The Daily Tar Heel's Editorial Board provides it's endorsements for the 2019 Chapel Hill mayoral election.

Editorial: No Moore depravity, please
Being president of the entire UNC System is an incredibly important job. We can, and must, do better than an openly partisan, morally corrupt career politician.
