25 years before the protests over Silent Sam, UNC athletes united over another cause
Posted Dec 24, 2018
More than 25 years ago, in the fall of 1992, four football players at UNC-Chapel Hill began a movement that has recently awakened. They fought then, through actions and words, for the construction of a free-standing black cultural center on campus. In the process, they laid a foundation for athlete-driven activism, one on which hundreds now stand in protest of Silent Sam.
