Focus on Silent Sam and analyze the Aftermath.
On August 25 and 30 and on September 8, follow-up demonstrations were held at the site by supporters and critics of the toppling of the statue. The August 30 demonstration was convened as a "Silent Sam Twilight Service" by Alamance County Take Back Alamance County, a group designated a hate group by the Southern Poverty Law Center. (See Flaggers.) Chancellor Folt asked people not to come to these events for safety reasons. Some of these protests led to arrests for assault, resisting arrest, and inciting a public disturbance. Supporters of Silent Sam were greatly outnumbered by counter-protesters.
