Still No Protestors At Kenan

Related Topics: Kenan Memorial Stadium, Protest

We picked our first article about the naming of Kenan Stadium to date from, but you could go back to any point in time. We just picked that one.

Anyway, it’s been 33 days since we pointed out that Kenan Stadium is named for a racist mass murderer and wondered where the protestors were.

People were happy to protest Silent Sam, a statue that was dedicated in 1913 with a wildly racist speech by Julius Carr which explicitly endorsed white supremacy.

However, he only spoke in favor of it. Buck Kenan and his brownshirts machine gunned dozens of African-Americans down in the streets, overthrew the elected government of Wilmington and reinstalled white supremacy.
