Nine years before protestors at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (Unc) hauled down the long-standing campus statue of the Confederate soldier known as “Silent Sam,” graduate student Adam H. Domby had unearthed a long-forgotten speech delivered at the monument's 1913 dedication. In that address, wealthy Unc alumnus and white supremacist Julian S. Carr had not only revealed the racism permeating the unveiling but actually boasted of once horsewhipping “a negro wench, until her skirt hung in shreds, because upon the streets of this quiet village she had publicly insulted and maligned a Southern lady” (p. 20). In 2011 Domby published excerpts from Carr's address in the Daily Tar Heel, Unc's campus newspaper. Still, it took another seven years, and explosive events such as the neo-Nazi Unite the Right rally at Charlottesville in 2017, before a 2018 crowd wrenched Silent Sam from its pedestal
