Officials at the University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill on Monday officially recommended moving the “Silent Sam” statue dedicated to Confederate soldiers to a new $5 million building dedicated to the university’s history, after it was vandalized and torn down in August by a group of protesters.

“I think a center to tell our history is really important. That idea is really important, and that idea came from the community, not just from us. We have many buildings that require more contextualization,” Chancellor Carol Folt said, according to the Daily Tar Heel.
