Unsung Founders Memorial, McCorkle Place
“The Class of 2002 honors the University’s unsung founders, the people of color bond and free, who helped build the Carolina that we cherish today.”
Artist Do-Ho Suh envisioned a memorial where visitors would physically interact with the artwork. The piece is comprised of a marble slab helped up by more than 300 bronze sculptures, and 5 stone seats.
This memorial is the focus of disputes about its placement, its size, its interactivity, and its lack of additional contextualization.
