The University Commission on History, Race and a Way Forward and UNC Kenan-Flagler Business School at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill are working together to honor the approximately 120 enslaved people buried in Barbee Cemetery at the Rizzo Center in Meadowmont.
“One of the commission’s overarching concerns is to change the way that the story of slavery is told and reaffirm the humanity of the people held in bondage. The Barbees and the people they enslaved played an important role in the early history of the University and greater community,” said Jim Leloudis, commission co-chair, professor of history and Peter T. Grauer Associate Dean for Honors Carolina.
