Racial tensions at UNC were addressed Tuesday April 20 when UNC president Andy Feinstein spoke at the Butler-Hancock Sports Center. He, alongside university staff and student leaders, spoke on the issues of empowerment, trauma and healing, particularly for students of color.
Feinstein began his speech addressing the guilty verdict in Derek Chauvin’s trial announced earlier that day.
“I, personally, am happy about the verdict,” Feinstein said. “But I’m also sorry about what this country has had to go through over the last year.”
