    About a year after Durham NC protestors took down the confederate statue at the old courthouse, UNC-Chapel Hill protestors have done the same with the confederate statue on campus. (I love the slogan on the hat the protestors stuck on the statue afterward: "Do it like Durham", though that's obviously not the most important bit.)

    So pleased that Silent Sam has finally been toppled!
