Rowdy Walk

A geotagged audio conversation and debate about the future of Silent Sam, a confederate monument at the University of North Carolina Chapel Hill. Thank you for downloading our geotagged audio tour, created by UNC's ARTS 106 class, taught by Sabine Gruffat, during the fall 2017 semester. If you haven't already, make your way to McCorkle Place, the quad between Franklin Street and Cameron Avenue. Search its pathways to encounter an array of voices speaking on the Silent Sam statue controversy. There are 16 recordings available that are represented by circles shown on the map. It is important to remember that the audio file will only play within the boundary of its circle. We hope you enjoy the audio tour "No Longer Silent."

Wherever you start, we welcome you to our beautiful town and encourage you to explore the map and visit as many locations as possible. Ever since its founding, Tarboro has been at the heart of history in the South. The North Carolina State Legislature met here once in 1787 and again in 1987. At one time, our town was even under consideration to be the state capital of North Carolina. President George Washington slept in Tarboro during a visit on his 1791 Southern tour, and is noted to have said of our town that [quote] “it was the best salute you could have from a single cannon.”

The roots of African American history runs deep in South Carolina, providing a rich history that spans over three centuries and every corner of the state. Stories of the enslaved and free people of color to civil rights activists, politicians, educators, pastors and many more all contributed to this history. The constant struggle for equality and freedom is often seen in these stories. Lake City was no exception and this rich legacy lives on in the city at historical sites, remnants, oral histories, and cultural traditions. This tour highlights some of Lake City's historical African American sites while telling the unique story that Lake City contributed to African American history in the state of South Carolina and the nation. There are eight sites on this tour throughout the city including the Ronald E. McNair Library and Monument, P.D. Cockfield House, Lynches Historical Society Building (former segregated hospital), Frazier Baker (Lake City) Post Office, the Lynching of Frazier Baker Historical Marker (Deep River Street and Church Street), Greater St. James A.M.E. Church Historical Marker, Lake City Rosenwald (segregated) School, and the Bronze Huey Cooper Statue.
