UNC to give Silent Sam statue to Sons of Confederate Veterans

Just over a year after the Confederate monument was pulled down by protesters, the University of North Carolina System announced the statue commonly known as "Silent Sam" will be given to a Confederate history group. A $2.5 million charitable trust will go toward its care and preservation -- a move that angered critics of the statue.
