How UNC System Gave Silent Sam to Confederate Group - Newsobserver
The payment comes ostensibly in response to a lawsuit from the Sons of Confederate Veterans. The deal for the ownership and maintenance of the statue starts to look awfully shady once you notice that the settlement agreement came before the lawsuit was even filed.
Seems like a convenient way to disguise your 2.5 million donation to a racist group. Side note, the school system recently shuttered a Civil Rights program due to lack of funding.
Apologies if old.
