W. FITZHUGH BRUNDAGE, DAVID W. BLIGHT & KEVIN M. LEVIN: A University's Betrayal of Historical Truth

Tuesday, Dec. 10, 2019 -- UNC agreed to pay Sons of Confederate Veterans $2.5 million--a sum that rivals the endowment of its history department. ... The settlement establishes a de facto financial partnership between the university system and the Sons of Confederate Veterans to preserve the monument. The SCV is free to use Silent Sam and this generous subsidy to continue its long-standing misinformation campaign about the history and legacy of the Civil War, with an endowment that rivals that of the university's history department. But the cost to the university can't be fully tallied in dollars and cents. A great public university should stand for the pursuit of truth, not the promotion of historical distortions and falsehoods. In seeking an expedient solution, the university system has succeeded only in aggravating the problems that the removal of the statue was supposed to address.
