Protesters gather outside meeting where fate of Silent Sam will be discussed
CHAPEL HILL -- Protesters gathered outside a meeting Friday morning where the UNC Board of Governors was scheduled to discuss the fate of the long-disputed Silent Sam Confederate statue on the Chapel Hill campus.
About 80 students, UNC faculty members and others opposed to the statue set up in front of the UNC Center for School Leadership Development, where the governing body of the UNC system began a series of committee and other meetings at 8 a.m.
One person was arrested as police moved people from the front of the building.
People had begun setting up before 7 a.m. for the planned protest. Barricades prevented protesters from standing on the sidewalk in front of the building.
