'Racist Language' Found On UNC Minorities Founder Statue

Officials at the University of North Carolina Chapel Hill say "racist language" has been found on a monument dedicated to the people of color who helped create the university. 

Chancellor Kevin Guskiewicz sent a message to the university Sunday night that said the Unsung Founders Memorial and an art installation were defaced with "hateful language and racial slurs."

The News and Observer reports the Unsung Founders Memorial is near where a Confederate statue known as "Silent Sam" once stood. The memorial has since been cleaned, and it's unclear what exactly was written on it.

The university said two people defaced the art and monument early Sunday. The school said one of them is known to campus police, who are getting an arrest warrant. Authorities were reviewing surveillance video to identify the second person.
