Police arrest two over vandalism of African American monument in North Carolina - Reuters
(Reuters) - Police on Monday arrested two people over the vandalism of a memorial to slaves and African American workers who helped build the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, a campus still roiled by last year’s toppling of a Confederate monument.
The Unsung Founders’ Memorial, erected in 2005 at UNC’s flagship campus, was vandalized at about 1:30 a.m. on March 31 by two people, including one with ties to a group called Heirs to the Confederacy, the university police said.

Racism & bigotry is still alive & well in the American South.
