Call for Racial Justice at the University of North Carolina, to Chancellor Moeser and the University Community

Document Description: Created by the Freedom Legacy Project, this petition argued for Chancellor James Moeser and the University community to “take decisive action to dismantle institutional racism ad the University of North Carolina.” The first step suggested by the petition was the addition of a plaque to Saunders Hall which stated clearly William Saunders’ leadership of North Carolina’s Ku Klux Klan.
