Still Mad About Silent Sam Settlement and Ole Miss on Statue Relocation

January 31, 2020

**  Top UM fundraisers, including current athletic director, support Confederate statue relocation.  (Ole Miss.  At least they propose moving it to an in-campus Confederate cemetery.  But now, what about the school's nickname, the Rebels?)

**  Seeking to nix $25 million deal , UNC alumni say Confederate group never owned 'Silent Sam.'  (Again, had the UNC students not committed a hate crime and torn down the statue, this would not have been a problem.  But this is the second time I've read an article about this "group of UNC alumni and donors" and as of yet, I have not seen the name of the "group" other than there are almost a hundred of them.  Who are they?  Are they a group of black alumni and donors?  Inquiring minds would like to know.)

** Group of UNC alumni say pro-Confederate group had no standing on Silent Sam suit.  (This article says there are 88 alumni in the group, including 14 members of the UNC Black Pioneers.  Also, some of the alumni are alumni of note and lists names.  Two of these were Whites and two were Blacks.)

**  Letter:  Confederate generals are still honored by the Army , too.  (From the Washington Post which is becoming a major anti-anything Confederate source.)
