The memorial known as "Silent Sam'' was toppled Aug. 20 by protesters who called it a symbol of racist heritage.

Several anti-Silent Sam protesters gathered Saturday on the Chapel Hill campus for a "Nazis Suck" potluck and food drive. Nearby, about a dozen people holding Confederate flags held a vigil in a sectioned-off area near where the statue had stood.

After both groups began yelling at each other, the Silent Sam supporters were escorted away and someone appeared to throw a smoke bomb at them. Some officers used the handlebars of their bicycles to push the Silent Sam protesters back.

“It does represent some type of history. The problem is when you put that out in the public and glorify like that you're simply saying that you agree with the racist principles that got it in the first place,” protester Michael Scipioni said.

The school has until the middle of November to figure out what to do with the statue.
