"Silent Sam," a statue on the UNC campus, one of the Lost Cause memorials funded by the United Daughters of the Confederacy as part of their campaign to whitewash the history of the Civil War, has been toppled by protestors.

It is a monument to racism. Julian Carr's monstrous 1913 dedication speech celebrated a KKK terror campaign and gleefully retold an anecdote about whipping a slave.

Good for those protestors. The university should have done it long ago.
