Quote:George Moses Horton (ca. 1798-1883) was a slave in nearby Chatham County who taught himself to read and write. When his master permitted him to rent his own time, Horton earned money by writing poetry for university students who wanted to impress their lady friends. Horton hoped to earn enough to buy his own freedom but did not succeed. A book of his poems, The Hope of Liberty, appeared in 1829 and was the first book ever published by a southern African American. After the Civil War, Horton moved to Philadelphia and may have migrated to Liberia. He died in 1883.

Quote:George Moses Horton Residence Hall
dedication to honor slave and poet

CHAPEL HILL – The university and greater communities are invited to attend the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill’s dedication on Monday (Feb. 12) of George Moses Horton Residence Hall, formerly Hinton James North, now named for a slave and poet from Chatham County.

The 4 p.m. dedication will be held in a tent outside Horton Residence Hall, which is located at the corner of Manning and Bowles drives on the South end of the Carolina campus.

The dedication marks the first time a building at Carolina has been named in honor of a slave and Horton Hall is believed to be the first university building in the nation to carry a slave’s name. There are four buildings on the Carolina campus named in honor of black faculty and staff.

Quote:Police remove Pit Preacher
Birdsong to appeal trespass warning
Kelly Giedraitis, Assistant University Editor
Posted: 3/9/07
Two University police officers escorted Gary Birdsong, better known as the Pit Preacher, off campus late Thursday morning after issuing him a trespassing warning.

Officers issued the warning after Birdsong refused to leave the Pit when asked, said Randy Young, spokesman for the Department of Public Safety.

The warning states that Birdsong can be arrested if he sets foot on campus within the next two years.

Birdsong, who has preached in the Pit since the '80s, said he is appealing the warning to DPS higher-ups.

The officers approached Birdsong after receiving a complaint from Carolina Adventures, an organization that reserved half of the Pit to promote programs.

David Yeargan, the expedition program manager for Carolina Adventures, said Birdsong interfered with the organization's ability to broadcast its message.

"After about five minutes after I got set up, Mr. Birdsong came and stood four or five feet from the table," said Yeargan, a UNC staff member.

He said he asked Birdsong, who was preaching about the evils of homosexuality, to move away from his table.

Yeargan said that when Birdsong refused to move, he approached the officers to help him handle the situation.

"I was preaching the gospel, and the security came up and said that the boy behind me had a permit," Birdsong said.

He said the officers refused to produce the permit when he asked to see it.

Birdsong finally agreed to move, but Yeargan said he moved only five feet and refused to move again - opting to take the punishment rather than accept the attempt to regulate his speech.

Officers then wrote the warning and escorted Birdsong off campus, amid jeers from students about violation of free-speech rights.

The Pit, one of the free-speech zones on campus, has historically been a venue for radical speakers to present their views.

But even some of most famous locations for free speech can be controlled, said Bill Marshall, a UNC law professor who specializes in First Amendment rights.

"Even if you have a public forum, you can regulate the use of it - as long as you can do it on an equal basis," Marshall said.

Young said that when speech keeps the University or a recognized entity from operating, it can be regulated.

Because the campus organization had reserved Pit and Yeargan reported Birdsong as an interference, he was considered to be trespassing, Young said.

Second-degree trespassing occurs after a person has been notified not to enter or remain on the premises by the owner or other authorized person, according to N.C. law.

Yeargan said that he applied for the reservation of half of the Pit though Events Planning but that he was not exactly sure what privileges the reservation entitled him.

Events Planning staff did not return calls or answer e-mail inquiries about how a reservation of the Pit affects free speech.

"From my understanding of it, I was the only one there who could present," Yeargan said. "He wasn't just standing there; he was presenting."

Quote:Members of the campus community:

The University will host a new series of meetings about Carolina North
for the campus and local communities on the last Tuesday of each month
through May, beginning Tuesday, March 27.

You are invited to attend one of two sessions on March 27. The first
session will be at 3:30 p.m., Room 2603, School of Government,
Knapp-Sanders Building. The presentation will be repeated at 5:30 p.m.
in the same location. Parking is available in the Highway 54 lot and
Rams Head deck. The School of Government parking deck is available only
for the 5:30 p.m. meeting.

University representatives will present potential uses of Carolina North
and three conceptual approaches to its development. Attendees will have
opportunities to ask questions and share comments. The feedback will
help the university as it develops a concept plan for the UNC-owned
property.

The conceptual plans that will be presented draw on the guiding
principles developed by the Leadership Advisory Committee for Carolina
North, an ecological assessment of the property and sustainability
strategies.

At the same time the university is working on its plans, several
supporting studies are under way or planned involving the campus and
various government and community entities. Topics include transit,
transportation and fiscal impact.

University officials believe Carolina North, the 900-plus-acre tract
located about two miles north of the main campus in Chapel Hill,
represents an unprecedented opportunity to develop a mixed-use academic
community that will benefit the campus and the community.

The university's Board of Trustees has directed the administration to
submit a development plan for Carolina North to local governments by
next October.

McGuire's Miracle

Quote:The season started on December 4, 1956, and ended on March 23, 1957. In between, North Carolina and the nation witnessed a perfect season—“McGuire's Miracle.” The University of North Carolina men's basketball team, which was led by Coach Frank McGuire and featured All-American Lennie Rosenbluth, finished the season 32-0. The Tar Heels won games in almost every imaginable way: they soundly defeated teams, such as their 32-point win over Clemson University in Chapel Hill; they won four overtime games, including two triple overtime wins in the Final Four; they won the coveted Dixie Classic, beating Wake Forest for the first of their four wins against the Demon Deacons that year; they won the Atlantic Coast Conference regular season and tournament championship; and, finally, they outlasted a Wilt Chamberlain-led University of Kansas team in a triple overtime contest played before a decidedly partisan Jayhawk crowd in Kansas City, Missouri, to secure the Tar Heels' first NCAA national championship.

Many, many pictures

"McGuire's Miracle"

Oh, were things different. Did you notice the staff. Just two coaches, a trainer and, someone I don't remember. For home games we sat on temporary metal bleachers in Woollen Gymnasium. The entire seating was a student section. Students complain about the limited number of seats available today! For ventilation the doors on either side would be open;so, it was not unusual for the game to be interrupted by meandering dogs.

We knew all the players as they lived in the dorms with us. They ate most of their meals with us in Ptomaine Poison Hall (aka Lenior Hall).

how about all the frigging high rises going up allover Franklin st?

Quote:Center finds home in Love House
House 'a perfect symbol of the South'
By: Tori Hamby, Staff Writer
Posted: 4/23/07
UNC has been at the center of Southern culture throughout its history.

The University has witnessed the effects of the Civil War, the Great Depression and many other monumental events in Southern history.

About 250 people gathered to celebrate that legacy Saturday at a dedication ceremony honoring the new location for the Center for the Study of the American South.

"The University and the South have always struggled with a tragic and painful history, but we've also had our redemptive moments," said Harry Watson, the center's director. "I believe that this is one of them."

The center, which now is located at the newly named and renovated Love House and Hutchins Forum, located at 401 E. Franklin St., previously had six different offices in Hamilton and Carroll halls.

Established in 1992, the center has programs that touch on Southern history, literature and culture, as well as social, political and economic issues.

Speakers at the dedication ceremony included Chancellor James Moeser, UNC-system President Erskine Bowles and Roger Perry, a member of UNC's Board of Trustees.

The house itself is a testament to Southern culture and history, Moeser said during his opening remarks.

Built in 1887, the house is named after former UNC professor James Lee Love, who built the house, and James A. Hutchins, a 1937 UNC alumnus and former adviser to U.S. embassies, who worked to fight poverty in the South and around the world.

In 2004 archaeologists discovered that the land where the house stands was the site of a Native American seasonal camp 2,000 years ago.

Bowles, whose Chapel Hill residence is located next door to the center, said he is excited about the new location.

"I cannot truly think of any better neighbor than the Center for the Study of the American South," he said. "The center is unmatched for teaching and research and will become a greater asset for the University and the South as a region."

Guest speaker Henry Louis Gates Jr., director of the W.E.B. Du Bois Institute for African and African-American Research at Harvard University, spoke of the importance of family and roots during his dedication speech.

"It is the impulse of family which brings us here to Chapel Hill this morning," Gates said. "This reverence of family is symbolized by the two families we are honoring here today."

Caroline Spencer Love, granddaughter of James Love, said the house is a good representation of the South.

"This house has a long-standing connection to UNC," she said. "It is a perfect symbol of the South."

The ceremony concluded with a ribbon-cutting ceremony by Moeser, Watson, Love and Marguerite Hutchins, who is related to James Hutchins.

Just before cutting the ribbon, Moeser expressed his hope that the center will continue to contribute to the knowledge of the region.

"It is our hope that the Center for the Study of the American South will deepen our understanding of the South."

Quote:Tours reveal campus history
By: Aaron Fiedler, Staff Writer
Posted: 4/25/07
As the Carolina blue skies faded on some of the most recognizable places on campus, distinguished faculty told students some lesser known facts about the University and its landmarks.

The event, aptly named Histories and Mysteries of Carolina, was held as part of the General Alumni Association's speaker series.

It was the first event of its kind and was targeted at UNC seniors.

"We figured that senior week at Carolina would be a good chance to give the seniors a last chance to find out what they don't know," said freshman Greg Jones, co-chairman of the GAA's Student and Alumni Relations committee.

About 100 students gathered on the Graham Memorial terrace before dividing into three groups touring unique parts of campus.

Making the list of destinations were McCorkle Place, Polk Place and the Old Chapel Hill Cemetery.

Polk Place was part of the building boom of the early 20th century, said Nicholas Graham, head of public service for Wilson Library's N.C. Collection.

"If you could have come here in 1900 you would not have recognized it," Graham said.

Graham, leading this part of the tour, pointed to each of the buildings in the quad and gave some history about each.

For instance, Graham noted that the namesake of Saunders Hall was the reputed leader of the Ku Klux Klan in North Carolina. He went before a congressional panel and was asked more than 50 times if he was a member of the KKK. He repeatedly said, "I decline to answer that," and even had the phrase engraved on his headstone.

Despite common knowledge of his involvement in the group, Graham said, Saunders' name was placed on the building 30 years later.

McCorkle Place is the oldest part of campus and the site of the oldest state university building in the country, what is now Old East, said Jim Kessler, director of the Department of Disability Services.

Kessler said the gargoyles outside of Person Hall are from Big Ben in London. They were given to the University after UNC officials agreed to purchase the stone needed for Big Ben's new gargoyles.

Kessler also pointed out the stone walls that create the edge of the University campus on Franklin Street. These became the place where speakers would stand and preach to students following a speaker ban that existed for fear of communists spreading their ideas to students.

The tour ended in the Old Chapel Hill Cemetery, where Tim McMillan, a professor in the Department of African and Afro-American Studies, talked to students about the history of the African-American section of the cemetery.

"It looks empty, but it's full of history" McMillan said.

The slave of Cornelia Phillips Spencer is buried in the cemetery with a grave stone that points out that he was a slave. Spencer, who campaigned to reopen the University after it was closed during Reconstruction, is widely viewed as a white supremacist.

McMillan said the slave lived in the backyard of what is now the Delta Delta Delta sorority house.

"This place has been a place of discussion and debate for 200 years," McMillan said.

UNC Dedicates Memorial to Alumni War Dead

Quote:v\William Friday stood solemnly before the assembled throng, his head bent to read from the pages flapping in protest against the wind. And in a knowing rasp fitting of his years and the occasion, he spoke not as president emeritus of the UNC system, but as someone who understood all too well the toll of war.

Friday harkened back to when he was a small boy and his father pulled out his uniform and some faded photographs and told him what little he had learned about war. His father spoke of the hectic days of the Army camp and about the rain and the mud and the drilling — and of high school classmates who went off to fight who he would never see again.� � His father’s war was the first big war of the century that was supposed to be the last, the one fought to end all wars and make the world safe for democracy.

Picture of the Memorial

PICTURE IS REALLY BIG, CLICK AND IT WILL OPEN IN ANOTHER WINDOW.� � IT IS WORTH A LOOKSEE.� �

Quote:The memorial sits at the heart of campus on Cameron Avenue between Phillips and Memorial halls and consists of a long bench that points to the Old Well. The street side is a stone wall like those commonly found across campus. The other side, facing the rest of the memorial, is a red sandstone bench inscribed with a quote from “Look Homeward Angel,” a novel by University alumnus Thomas Wolfe.

The bench faces six low stone walls and 10 small blooming trees, bisected by a sidewalk inscribed with quotes from or about 16 of the 684 Carolina alumni who were killed during wartime, from the Civil War to the Gulf War.

Their names are listed in a bronze Book of Names with pull-out panels. The book includes space for additional names of those who may be lost in the future. To date, the war in Iraq has claimed no Carolina graduates.

Carolina Covenant Video

http://www.ed.gov/news/av/video/2007/carcov.html

The North Carolinians
We are modest and immoderately proud of that modesty, a somewhat paradoxical condition. We like to cite with self-effacing pride the famous quote: “North Carolina is a vale of humility between two mountains of conceit.” Those mountains, of course, are the old aristocratic bastions of Virginia and South Carolina, though now they too are becoming chopped-up subdivisions of suburban values similar to North Carolina’s. The aristocrats have all gone underground, as in died.

The North Carolinian believes in niceness as b oth a practice and a veil, as an expression of Christianity and democratic values, and as a disguise. Even the Carolinian’s most unseemly moves will occur behind a screen of Christian rectitude. Or a silly Christmas sweater that suggests roly-poly affability. Again, a prideful possession of the middle.

The average male North Carolinian wears khaki pants the way other men wear fancy suits, as a badge of his identity. He won’t get too far above his raising. The choice these days is really between pleats or flat-fronts.

We are what we are.

Unable to express hostility with much directness, restrained as we are by an ill-fitting Christianity (and if male, by those middle-of-the-road khakis), we North Carolinians will come at you sideways with either shy irony or truculent sweetness. First, we’ll try to save you from yourself. If that doesn’t work, we might try to kill you with kindness. And if that doesn’t work, we’ll just kill you, but politely. This is what good manners are for. We’re masters of a complex, coded set of manners. There are many ways to kill that don’t require actual bloodshed.

I say that the North Carolinian is unable to express hostility with much directness—that is, unless he or she has the mixed blessing of being a redneck, very few of which still exist in their original state, having been suburbanized to the point of neuter by improved economic circumstances and Republican campaign strategists. Indeed, the cult of the redneck, as celebrated in popular culture by the likes of the late newspaper columnist Lewis Grizzard (who never met a bowl of grits he couldn’t eulogize like Pickett’s Charge) and by the comedians Jeff Foxworthy and Larry the Cable Guy, is a sure sign that the redneck’s original badass vitality has been largely sucked dry. Toothless and enfeebled, and in that sense looking a lot like he did in his prime, the redneck has been helped into the Museum of Old Stereotypes, an institution that has been franchised and broadened to include NASCAR racetracks. At the big raceways like Talladegga and Rockingham, an entire species stuck in limbo between old country ways and the tedious demands of suburbia celebrates the wild way life used to feel, even if they never felt it personally. Remember them bootleggers cornering on a hairpin mountain turn? The cars roar by, and the fans shake with the engine vibrations as if they were equipped with all that horsepower themselves. Want to see rednecks these days? They’re safely sealed inside television glass. They’re a concept, not a class. They’re caricatures of disenfranchisement sold by intellectual merchants who’ve found profit in resentment.

The suburban Carolinians have an entirely different relationship with the world. They’ve been civilized. Where their redneck antecedents may have cursed and grumbled and taken the Lord’s name in vain (or shouted for Him in desperation at a later-summer revival), the suburbanites slather prayer over everything like ketchup. They believe in a personal relationship with Jesus that makes the Lord sound like the best bank loan officer/therapist/career counselor a guy or gal could ever have.

The new Carolinians like to preface the word “family” with the definitive article “the” as if family were something new and brave in the world, a political party of its own. The way they say “the family” makes the two words reverberate together with Mafioso undertones and suggests an exclusive organization prepared to eliminate all competitors.

Such Carolinians inhabit their suburbs like little islands unto themselves, each family a separate nation. The Reconstructionist ideal might have been 40 acres and a mule. These days, the Carolinians want 1.4 acres and a gleaming SUV that’s as durable as a mulle and a whole lot shinier.

So much niceness! Such family values! Between megachurch and maneuvering decently at the office, how’s a fellow or gal supposed to cut loose? What if a bad thought crosses that sweet, Jesusified mind? Where’s it supposed to go?

Well, brothers and sisters, that’s where basketball comes in. In a state otherwise deprived of outlets for the vehement passions—that forbidden emotion of hatred, for instance—there is ACC basketball, a veritable festival of hatred, sanctioned and almost sanctified. And the most antagonistic relations within the ACC can be found between Duke [sic] and North Carolina.

WXYC has a blog

http://www.wxyc.org/blog/

Oh...and check this out (found at WXYC blog)

Quote:Look who heated up the phone lines yesterday...

"The Pride" of Latta, South Carolina, former UNC point guard of the 2005 UNC National Championship team, and current Charlotte Bobcat, Raymond "The Truth" Felton was interviewed by Bret Dougherty on a "Special Edition SportsRap" session yesterday.

Check out the interview here.

Special kudos goes out to Neil, the 6-9AM DJ, on Thursday. Very impressive set that precluded the interview...The freshman phenom kept it "local" with cuts by Little Brother, Edgar Allen Floe, and the classic 'Criminal Minded' of Boogie Down Productions.

The solid piece of the interview is that Bret Dougherty asked Felton if he would guarantee a playoff appearance for next year. The answer...Same guarantee rests for Felton next season, he's guaranteeing a playoff appearance. Bold call from the young gunna'!

Check back in to SportsRap on Sundays between 9-10PM.

Special thanks to Raymond for joining us on the show. Now, if we can get Raymond to rock a WXYC 'T' with the number 2 emblazoned on the back. That would be Chapel Hill love.

P.S. Felton swears he's not wolfing Chick-Fill-A Chicken sandwiches on gamedays anymore. What a shame...His pre-game meals placed him as a Honorable Mention Selection on the "All-Lenoir" team.

Quote:Dorm construction nearing completion
By: Katie Loeffler, Staff Writer
Posted: 6/21/07
After being under construction for more than two years, the Morrison Residence Hall renovation is almost complete.

According to Lindsey Hopkins, the UNC Construction Manager for the Morrison project, the residence hall is in the "final punch list phase," where the building is checked to make sure that it is ready for final inspections.

"(Morrison) is a week from final inspections," Hopkins said.

Hopkins, along with Larry Hicks, director of housing and residential education, agreed that the project will be completed before students move in for the 2007 fall semester.

"Morrison is full for next year," Hicks said. "We had high demand for Morrison."

He also said that before Morrison went under construction, the residence hall was one of the most requested residence halls on campus.

Many changes have been made to Morrison in the renovation process.

The residence hall has several new energy-efficient additions, such as a solar hot water system on the roof that will help heat water in the residence hall, more energy efficient windows and monitors throughout the building to check to the use of utilities.

Morrison has also undergone several design modifications, including the elimination of large built-in wall units. The units will be replaced by free moving dressers and desks.

A two-story lobby floor with natural lighting and glassed-in common areas on all floors also has been added.

Central air conditioning and heating was put throughout the residence hall, with thermostats in rooms so students can control the temperature.

Morrison also will have a cyber lounge and a media room with pool tables and a large projector.

The Sustainability Learning Community, a new learning community focused on recycling, energy use and other aspects of sustainable living will be located in Morrison.

The learning communities previously found in Carmichael Residence Hall will be relocated to Morrison.

Carmichael is the next residence hall going under construction due to problems with moisture caused by an inadequate central air conditioning and heating system that was installed in the building years ago, according to Hicks.

It will be closed for the 2007-08 school year.

Hinton James will receive some attention this summer as window air conditioning units will be placed in all of the rooms on the top three floors.

By the fall of 2008, Hicks says that Hinton James will be completely air conditioned.

Wow! Then it's no longer really Morrison is it? Glad they did the upgrades but Morrison with AC?!?

I guess it was '90 or '91 when the Braves won the World Series-Morrison had to be the loudest dorm on campus. The kids and I were across the road in Odum Village (Family Housing) and the noise from Morrison was amazing!! Almost didn't need to watch the game on TV.

Miss Campus?

Quote:Smith Center Floor Is Repainted, Refinished



Aug. 2, 2007


Photo Gallery

CHAPEL HILL - The University of North Carolina men's basketball court in the Dean Smith Center has been refinished and repainted this summer in preparation for the 2007-08 season.

Over 20 years of finish was sanded off the court, stripping it down to the bare wood for the first time since the building was built in 1986. From that point, the wooden floor was repainted to match the court's previous appearance and then refinished.

The finish on top of the paint currently is curing and needs several weeks to dry. No one is allowed on the court until at least the end of August while it dries. The Smith Center is closed to the general public until that point.

To view a photo gallery taken by photographer Jim Bounds of the court's refinishing and repainting, please click on the link above.

Quote:UNC prepares for Hispanic student growth
Of?cials try to cater to group
By: Andrew Dunn, Features Editor
Posted: 10/5/07
At the current 20 percent growth rate, Hispanics will overtake blacks as the University's largest minority in the year 2013.

And as the number of Hispanics on campus continues to soar, two groups in particular - the Carolina Hispanic Association and the office of Diversity and Multicultural Affairs - have begun stepping up efforts to account for the changing dynamics.

"I don't know when it's going to level off or if it will," said Terri Houston, the department's director for recruitment and multicultural programs. "It doesn't matter. We'll be prepared. We're excited about the growth."

Pedro Carreno, Chispa president, said the increase of the Hispanic population on campus will help fuel even more growth.

And one of the main efforts to encourage that growth is through the fourth annual Hispanic Recruitment Weekend, hosted by Chispa, which begins today.

Hispanic students from across the state will be invited to campus and hosted by Hispanic UNC students, Carreno said. Visitors will sit in on classes and attend a panel discussion.

"It's motivational seeing people you can relate to," Carreno said. "Just seeing the number of minority students is very comforting. … It lets them see the Latino side of Carolina."

The office of Diversity and Multicultural Affairs is also a sponsor of the event. The Hispanic community has become a higher priority for the department in recent years.

For the division that meant hiring a staff member to focus specifically on the Hispanic community - a new multicultural programs coordinator, Josmell Perez, who was hired two weeks ago.

Perez said one of his goals is for the community to have a better understanding and appreciation of the Hispanic culture through increasing the numbers of Hispanic students, faculty and staff on campus.

The division also personally calls students, particularly at high schools with large Hispanic populations, and has begun offering recruitment literature in Spanish.

Making parents comfortable is key in recruiting Hispanic students, Houston and Perez said.

"The child (might) be the primary one who speaks English," Houston said. "When that child leaves (for college), there's a disconnect that is very fearful."

Perez characterized the Hispanic community as family-oriented. That's why, he said, most of the recruitment efforts target parents, as well.

"Parents play such a role in the decision making," he said. "They need to be comfortable. For some, North Carolina might as well be Europe."

Another goal for Chispa this year is to create a Hispanic center on campus, along the lines of the Sonja Haynes Stone Center for Black Culture and History and the American Indian Center.

Such a center would provide academic support for Hispanic students, conduct surveys and help secure research grants for Hispanic issues, Carreno said.

"We feel it's very integral," he said. "This is the next step for us."

That initiative is part of what Carreno describes as an ideological shift for Chispa.

"For the past couple of years we've pushed away from the cultural aspect of (Chispa) and moved toward political action," he said.

While the group will still host cultural events - such as Latino Night and Carnival - representatives also are beginning to meet with faculty and administration to stress the needs of the Hispanic community at UNC.

"The numbers are going to be ever growing," Houston said. "We thought it would be best to be proactive."

PAUL GREEN
1894-1981

Playwright, teacher, &
humanitarian. Awarded
Pulitzer Prize, 1927. His
16 outdoor dramas in-
clude The Lost Colony
(1937). Lived 1 mile E.
Not too many years ago, the sign erected last week with the above words would have stood in the front yard of an old farmhouse.

Today, it lends stability at the corner of US 15-501 and Old Lystra Road, next to the UNC Park & Ride that opened there earlier this year, in a stretch of road where change has been continual over the past decade.


The sign is one of 1,500 historical markers in the state and the 16th in Chatham County. That spot was chosen because Paul Green lived and died a mile away at the home he called Windy Oaks on 221 acres he bought in 1961. Green lived there with his wife, Elizabeth, until his death in 1981.

A dozen or so people attended the unveiling of the sign bright and early Saturday morning, including three of the four Green children, Paul Green Jr., who recently moved back to Chapel Hill, Byrd Green Cornwell of Valdese and Betsy Green Moyer of Wayland, Mass. Paul Green III of Durham also attended, along with a number of members of the Paul Green Foundation board and its executive director, Alexandra Lightfoot.

It’s good to be reminded of Paul Green and to learn from his offspring what they remember about their father — that he was fearless. Of course they may not have realized it as children, because back when he started talking about inequality and discrimination his was a lone voice — one so out of the blue that it sometimes brought a stunning silence.

A few months ago, Moyer shared in an email a story from 1937. It was at the opening ceremony of “The Lost Colony,” a play he wrote, which continues to be performed every summer on Roanoke Island.

“He came to the podium, looked out at the segregated audience and at the rope that divided them,” Moyer wrote. “He stood silent for a long time, for such a long time the audience became restive. Finally he spoke and said (something like this), ‘I live for the day when the rope that divides you has been torn down and we sit side by side, black next to white and white next to black.’ It was a courageous statement to make at a time in our history when there were few whose vision and words reflected such honesty and clarity.”

Imagine a tall, lanky white man from Harnett County with the foresight 70 years ago to hope for — much less speak publicly of — a society without color lines.

“He was not only outspoken, he also was proactive,” Moyer said. “He was never quiet when he witnessed a discriminatory act, whether the act was against African-Americans, teachers accused of communist leanings” or any of the causes he championed and wrote about, like capital punishment, chain gangs, lynching and war.

There’s a new sign among us. Perhaps those who pass it will seek information about the man it honors and it will awaken the humanitarian credo of Paul Green within them.

Saw that marker the other day and wondered if it was new or if I'd been blind for a while.

One of 100 Yorktown's most loved songs was written about Paul Green's Great Grand daughter "Caitlin." She was a couple of years ahead of Boy and the band at CHHS. Beautiful and talented gal she is.

Fortieth Anniversary of the Black Student Movement

Quote:Black student group marks 40 years at UNC
Eric Ferreri, Staff Writer
CHAPEL HILL - Will Mebane remembers fearing for his life during the days when he headed UNC-Chapel Hill's Black Student Movement in the early 1970s.
A loud and visible student leader, the Durham native led campus protests, brought students to Raleigh to march at the governor's mansion and generally pushed a civil rights agenda at a time of race riots and smoldering racial tension.

"If there was a political issue of the day, I was involved in it," Mebane, now 55, said last week. "There were times when I was afraid my car was going to blow up."

Mebane was the organization's leader during the 1972-73 school year. The group was in its infancy then, formed six years earlier to give the university's tiny black student population a political voice.

This fall, the Black Student Movement celebrates its 40th birthday. It is now 400 members strong with interests and aims far more diverse than when it began in fall 1967.

About 30 current members met Sunday afternoon for a brief reception and slide show to honor the group's history. Events all week on campus will do so as well.

Reached at his home in Connecticut, Mebane, a recent graduate of Yale's divinity school, said he hopes today's students appreciate what he and his contemporaries went through. The Ku Klux Klan was still active in North Carolina, and tensions boiled over in incidents like the 1971 arrest and conviction of nine black men and one white woman in Wilmington -- eventually overturned on a technicality -- on charges of arson and shooting at city police and firefighters during a desegregation-related riot.

Black student leaders who got involved in issues like that -- even within the seemingly safe confines of a college campus -- did so with some unease, Mebane recalled.

"It was not an easy time," he said. "The benefits [black students] receive today were hard-fought."

This year, the Black Student Movement is led by President Derek Sykes and Vice President Racine Peters, both seniors from Virginia.

Each professes appreciation for what Mebane and others like him went through during the organization's formative years but say the BSM has grown and expanded greatly since then. It is one of UNC's largest student organizations, with 20 committees, a magazine and a gospel choir.

It isn't solely a political entity anymore.

Times, Peters said, have changed.

"Back in 1967, racism was more overt," she said. "Now, if students feel any racism at all, it's in a more covert manner."

History recalled

Today's students learn the history of the movement's formative years -- informally through stories handed down through the ranks; more formally with things such as the video detailing BSM history that the organization shows members each year.

Students today might be surprised to learn that when the BSM was formed in 1967, there were only 113 black students out of a student body of 13,352, according to an exhibit displayed earlier this year at UNC's Wilson Library.

A key early challenge came the following fall, when BSM members aligned with striking cafeteria workers frustrated by low pay and poor treatment by white supervisors. For months, BSM leaders worked with cafeteria workers, joined in protests and even got arrested.

The issue grew turbulent enough that Gov. Robert W. Scott became involved and the National Guard was mobilized. Eventually, worker raises were approved, though dissatisfaction with job conditions eventually led to another walkout.

"The students didn't have to be involved," Archie Ervin, UNC-CH's associate provost for diversity and multicultural affairs and a faculty adviser to the BSM, said during Sunday's reception. "It wasn't their fight. But they saw it was a wrong that had to be righted."

In subsequent years, the Black Student Movement continued to challenge the administration.

In the early 1970s -- while Mebane was there -- a key issue was the diversification of the faculty and student body. In the 1990s, the hot issue was the creation of a free-standing black cultural center, a controversial initiative led largely by the BSM and the Campus Y, another student organization.

Some opposed to the proposal argued that the center would create an isolated fortress for black students, but the university administration eventually got behind the idea.

The center finally opened, after a long and often frustrating fundraising process, in August 2004. Though the BSM helped advocate for the building throughout the 1990s, the student group still maintains its office in the campus student union.

A sense of place

The BSM's other meeting place is the new Upendo Room, in a new student services building on South Campus. The room, in a fairly institutional red brick building at the corner of Manning Drive and Country Club Road, is no accident. It is on the same patch of land as the original Upendo Lounge, a largely nondescript room on the second floor of Chase Hall, which served as the South Campus cafeteria until it was torn down three years ago.

The lounge was once a truly distant outpost on the edge of campus. For black students relegated to nearby Hinton James Residence Hall, Upendo Lounge meant community, family and camaraderie. It was known less formally as the Black Student Union.

The new Upendo Room features a wall covered with enlarged copies of Daily Tar Heel articles through the years chronicling the BSM's quest for its own meeting space. The BSM christened the Upendo Lounge in 1972 but, as the articles show, had to fight to hang on to the space through the years. Using a new meeting room with the same name at the same campus spot is, for today's batch of BSM students, one small nod to the past, organizers said.

"It very quickly became a gathering point where black students could see each other when they were just 1 or 2 percent of the population," Ervin said. "We are remembering that place and that legacy."

A Kenan Concert...who? when?

A Kenan Concert...who? when?

I'll take a guess, Don. That looks like U2 during the old Spring Fling concert in either 83 or 84. I remember I didn't go because it was cold and rainy. Missed one of U2's first concerts in the US.

Todd Rundgren was also at that show.

Welcome teagueghost.

Thanks, db. I've been around along time. Mostly a lurker, but I remember Dave Chen's old board and have been on IC since the early days before uncbasketball.com and the tar pit merged. Been away from this place for a while, but decided to come back and visit. I like the vibe here, think I'll stay a while.

Here's a little article re: Marion Jones w/ some blurbs from Coach Hatchell and Craddock.

The university will remove images of her and the medals, but not any of her accomplishments prior to her graduation. Good move, IMO.

Coming to Ackland starting Jan.11.

Thank you sir

From the back cover of a book published in 1963 about Chapel Hill and especially UNC.

Quote:"The forces of moral and spiritual disintegration are glaringly evident in these documented studies of recent events at the University of North Carolina in Chapel Hill. As the pole for the American flag is defiled, as the story of the Christ Child is given a lewd rewrite, as a philosophy professor sows the seeds of racial dischord, as blood spills on the Old Well, the student Daily Tar Heel whoops up a hatred of the South, of America, of the middle class, of Christian morality. Only a few of th recent mysterious deaths are discussed here. Nine white males, agest 20-46, died between September 23rd and Christmas Day, 1961. Six were University-connected. Five of the six met their deaths in the month of October. The University excels in its mortality rate as well as in its vaunted tradition of 'academic freedom.' But is there any freedom here? And where must it end? On the ant hill described by UNC Press author Roderick Seidenberg? The sinister import of BLOOD ON THE OLD WELL cannot be overlooked."

IIRC, Bono did a XYC intro/station id from his time on campus before that concert ...

Whoa! DB! I ain't never heared tell of those Chapel Hill events!!! The title of the book is "Blood on the Old Well" by Sarah Watson Emery? Sounds intriguing! I love true crime reading.
